Virtual Machines

while containers are the standard way of working with web applications, kraud supports "virtual machines" similar to other cloud service providers for legacy applications or developer convenience.

pvms are actually implemented exactly the same way as pods, so that you can mix and match different components from the infrastructure

for example they are part of the same vpc network, and can use the same persistent storage methods.
