April 2016 - Announce - Ovirt List Archives

by Fabian Deutsch

Hey, the just released oVirt 3.6.6rc1 release marks the first official oVirt release which is accompanied by oVirt Node Next (Beta). Since it's pre-alpha release a few weeks ago, Node has seen a lot of testing and fixes, which brought it to the beta level. If you have not yet started to test oVirt Node Next, this is the time to do so. Take a look at the quick-start guide to see the next steps [0]. What is oVirt Node? oVirt Node is a ready-to-use OS image, containing all the OS and oVirt packages needed to act as host for oVirt Engine. The image can be installed in minutes, can be administered using Cockpit [1], and provides a safe upgrade and rollback mechanism. Where can I learn more about oVirt Node? A quick-start guide, and links to additional documentation can be found on the oVirt Node Project page <http://www.ovirt.org/node/>. On behalf of the Node team - fabian -- [0] http://www.ovirt.org/node/ [1] http://cockpit-project.org/
