### Goals

#### Timeline

* GA higher workload density in OpenShift Virtualization in 2024

#### Functionality

* Fit more virtual machines onto a node once higher workload density

#### Timeline & Phases

Because [Kubernetes SWAP] is currently in Beta only expect to GA with
Kube 1.32 (OpenShift 4.19, approx mid 2025) this proposal is taking a
two phased approach in order to meet the timeline requirements.
| Phase | Target |
|---------------------------------------------------|--------|
| Phase 1 - Out-Of-Tree SWAP with WASP | 2024 |
| Phase 2 - Kubernetes SWAP for CNV-only with WASP | 2025 |
| Phase 3 - Kubernetes SWAP for all Openshift users | TBD |

Because [Kubernetes SWAP] is currently in Beta and is only expected to GA with
Kubernetes 1.32 (OpenShift 4.19, approx mid 2025) this proposal is taking a
three phased approach in order to meet the timeline requirements.

* **Phase 1** - OpenShift Virtualization will provide an out-of-tree
solution to enable higher workload density.
* **Phase 2** - OpenShift Virtualization will transition to
[Kubernetes SWAP] (in-tree) whenever this feature is generally
available in OpenShift itself.

This enhnacement is focusing on Phase 1 and the transition to Phase 2.
Phase 2 is covered by the upstream [Kubernetes SWAP] enhnacements.

#### Phase 1 - Out-Of-Tree SWAP with WASP

[WASP Agent] is a component which is providing an [OCI hook] to enable
SWAP for selected containers hosting virtual machines.
* **Phase 2** - OpenShift Virtualization will transition to [Kubernetes SWAP] (in-tree).
OpenShift will allow using SWAP only for CNV users, that is,
whenever OpenShift Virtualization is installed on the cluster.
In this phase, WASP would still be used as an auxiliary tool, e.g.
for swap-based evictions.
* **Phase 3** - OpenShift will GA SWAP for every user, even if OpenShift Virtualization
is not installed on the cluster.
In addition, WASP will be dropped in favor of GAed Kubernetes mechanisms.

This enhancement is focusing on Phase 1 and the transition to Phase 2.
Phase 2 is covered by the upstream [Kubernetes SWAP] enhancements.
