Virtualized (boolean)

Ontology Key Identifier

Kubernetes Annotation

ResourceClaim

This key indicates whether a compute resource is virtualized.

A value of true indicates the resource is a virtual machine or container running on a hypervisor or managed platform. A value of false explicitly indicates bare-metal (no virtualization).

This key is useful for workload scheduling decisions, performance tuning, and hardware inventory tracking. Some workloads require direct hardware access for performance or security reasons and are scheduled to avoid virtualized nodes.

If you are unsure whether a resource is virtualized: don’t set this key at all.
