> This project was initially proposed for review on Oct. 9. It has been reviewed for major issues and having heard no objections, it's now time to formally vote on accepting this as an official oVirt incubator subproject. <br>
><br>
> The last time we voted on one of these was during an IRC weekly meeting, so I believe it is appropriate to post a Call for Vote on the Devel and Board lists. <br>
><br>
> Voting will be open until 1200 UTC Nov. 28, 2016. A net total of +5 votes should be received to formalize this project as an incubator subproject. Please use the following vote process:<br>

> +1<br>
> Yes, agree, or the action should be performed. On some issues, this vote must only be given after the voter has tested the action on their own system(s).<br>

> ±0<br>
> Abstain, no opinion, or I am happy to let the other group members decide this issue. An abstention may have detrimental affects if too many people abstain.<br>

> No, I veto this action. All vetos must include an explanation of why the veto is appropriate. A veto with no explanation is void.<br>

<p dir="ltr">My vote is +0. I have no strong opinion on this and I'm not using vagrant so I would be happy to leave other to decide. <br>
Using the + because I am happy to see the contribution ☺<br><br><br></p>
<p dir="ltr">> Abstract<br>
><br>
> This will be a provider plugin for the Vagrant suite that allows<br>
> command-line ease of virtual machine provisioning and lifecycle<br>
> management.<br>
><br>
> Proposal<br>
><br>
> This Vagrant provider plugin will interface with the oVirt REST API<br>
> (version 4 and higher) using the oVirt provided ruby SDK<br>
> 'ovirt-engine-sdk-ruby'. This allows users to abstract the user<br>
> interface and experience into a set of command line abilities to<br>
> create, provision, destroy and manage the complete lifecycle of<br>
> virtual machines. It also allows the use of external configuration<br>
> management and configuration files themselves to be committed into<br>
> code.<br>
><br>
> Background<br>
><br>
> I have previously forked and maintained the 'vagrant-ovirt' gem as<br>
> 'vagrant-ovirt3' due to Gems requiring unique names. The original<br>
> author has officially abandoned the project. For the last few years<br>
> all code to maintain this project has been maintained by myself and a<br>
> few ad-hoc github contributors. This provider interfaced directly with<br>
> oVirt v3 using fog and rbovirt. The new project would be a fresh start<br>
> using the oVirt provided ruby SDK to work directly with version 4.<br>
><br>
> Rationale<br>
><br>
> The trend in configuration management, operations, and devops has been<br>
> to maintain as much of the development process as possible in terms of<br>
> the virtual machines and hosts that they run on. With software like<br>
> Terraform the tasks of creating the underlying infrastructure such as<br>
> network rules, etc have had great success moving into 'Infrastructure<br>
> as code'. The same company behind Terraform got their reputation from<br>
> Vagrant which aims to utilize the same process for virtual machines<br>
> themselves. The core software allows for standard commands such as<br>
> 'up', 'provision', 'destroy' to be used across a provider framework. A<br>
> provider for oVirt makes the process for managing VMs easier and able<br>
> to be controlled through code and source control.<br>
><br>
> Initial Goals<br>
><br>
> The initial goal is to get the base steps of 'up', 'down' (halt), and<br>
> 'destroy' to succeed using the oVirt provided ruby SDK for v4.<br>
> Stretch/followup goals would be to ensure testability and alternate<br>
> commands such as 'provision' and allow configuration management suites<br>
> like puppet to work via 'userdata' (cloud-init).<br>
><br>
> Current Status<br>
><br>
> The version 3 of this software has been heavily utilized. The original<br>
> fork known as 'vagrant-ovirt' has been abandoned with no plans to<br>
> communicate or move forward. My upstream fork has had great success<br>
> with nearly 4x the downloads from <a href="http://rubygems.org">rubygems.org</a> . Until my github fork<br>
> has more 'stars' I cannot take over it completely so the gem was<br>
> renamed 'vagrant-ovirt3'. This is also true for <a href="http://rubygems.org">rubygems.org</a> since<br>
> gems are not namespaced, therefore could not be published without a<br>
> unique name. The v4 provider is still pending my initial POC commit<br>
> but there are no current barriers except initial oVirt hosting. The<br>
> hosting of oVirt v3 for testing is a laptop on a UPS at my home, and<br>
> v4 is also a different pc attached to a UPS.<br>
><br>
> External Dependencies<br>
><br>
> RHEVM/oVirt REST API - This provider must interact with the API itself<br>
> to manage virtual machines.<br>
