Run virtual desktops as Kubernetes pods with open-source abcdesktop.io
VDI is normally Citrix and VMware territory, not Kubernetes. abcdesktop.io inverts that: every user desktop and app runs as a Kubernetes pod or ephemeral container, letting the cluster handle scheduling, autoscaling, and per-session cleanup. The makers say it has run in production across multiple countries for five-plus years, streaming only pixels over HTML5 WebSocket so endpoints stay pure display clients. A genuinely unusual, fully open-source take on desktop-as-a-service.
