In the Community
oVirt is very happy to announce its participation in the GNOME Foundation's Outreach Program for Women (http://www.ovirt.org/Outreach_Program_for_Women). Learn more today!
Our community is always one of our biggest strengths, and we wanted to start celebrating them (http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/09/ovirt-community-list/). Our new Users and Providers page does just that (http://www.ovirt.org/Users_and_Providers)!
This month's case study features Nimbus Concept, a Madrid consultancy that combines oVirt and other open source tools to deliver cloud-based solutions to its customers (http://www.ovirt.org/Nimbus_Concept_Case_Study).
oVirt user IT Novum recently had their work highlighted in the German press as they deliver effective solutions using oVirt (http://www.it-director.de/home/a/open-source-fuer-das-rz.html).
UDS Enterprise is another downstream product based on the open source oVirt project (https://www.udsenterprise.com/media/filer_public/2c/98/2c980716-2810-42a3...)!
oVirt Software Milestones
The journey to oVirt 3.5 continued in September, with RC2 released Sept. 12, and RC3 (http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.5_Release_Notes) on Sept. 23. There were also two great test days (http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.5_TestDay), where many bugs were discovered and repaired.
If you want to see more of 3.5 before its final release, break out the popcorn and watch our 3.5 video preview series (http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/09/a-cinematic-peek-at-ovirt-3-5/)!
Meanwhile, the 3.4 branch keeps rolling along, with the release of oVirt 3.4.4 on Sept. 24 (http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.4.4_Release_Notes).
GoVirt, a.k.a. libgovirt, is a GObject wrapper for the oVirt REST API. libgovirt 0.3.1 was rolled out on Sept. 3 (http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-September/027142.html)!
Deep Dives and Technical Discussions
Robb Hamilton and Greg Sheremeta take a video tour at NCDevCon of how Bootstrap was used to created the new PatternFly interface, which will unify different community projects' interfaces, including oVirt 3.5 and above (http://textiles.online.ncsu.edu/online/Play/f962e776fb0b41968c8ff1a715a8d...).
Ravi Nori takes a Deep Dive into the Command Coordinator and Command Executor frameworks in the oVirt back end (http://youtu.be/V-mEttpaGL4).
Alon Bar-Lev hosts this Google Hangout to highlight the new Authentication, Authorization and Accounting features in the upcoming oVirt 3.5 (http://youtu.be/aavmOAw7Fa8).
Anmol Babu examines Monitoring Gluster Deployment (UI plugin Integrated with Nagios Monitoring) (http://youtu.be/gvLGwFfqKOo).
Paul Heinlein ran into obstacles getting oVirt 3.3 VNC console sessions to launch in Mac OS X, so he set to work and now has a description of the problem and a workaround solution posted on GitHub (https://github.com/heinlein/ovirt-console).
Interested in Docker? The Gluster community has posted a quick how to containerize oVirt within Docker article (http://blog.gluster.org/2014/07/ovirt-docker/).
If you need to migrate VMware machines to KVM, then life is going to be better for you, according to Richard WM Jones (http://rwmj.wordpress.com/2014/08/29/virt-v2v-better-living-through-new-t...).
Here's an additional V2V tutorial for shifting VMware machines to oVirt and RHEV (http://sp4wnr0ot.blogspot.com.br/2014/09/v2v-rhev-from-vmware-55-with.html).
What does persistence really mean for oVirt Node? Fabian Deutsch examines the question (http://dummdida.tumblr.com/post/97208762630/persistence) and potential solutions (http://dummdida.tumblr.com/post/97207385480/node-is-moving).
Jon Benedict has a theory: VMware ESX and Red Hat's OpenStack implementation, RDO, is way too complicated. Who are we to argue (http://captainkvm.com/2014/09/esx-and-rhel-osp-just-say-no/)?
When you add a new host to your oVirt Engine, your iptables rules are overwritten by oVirt deploy. The new rules might not meet your needs. But you can change this, says Eduardo Ramos (http://freedominterface.org/ovirt-host-iptables/).
Ramos has also examined internal/isolated networks on oVirt (http://freedominterface.org/internal-isolated-networks-on-ovirt/), and his experiences with the Shell in the Box UI plugin for oVirt (http://freedominterface.org/?p=321).
oVirt China has posted a Chinese translation of the oVirt Reports howto (http://ovirt-china.org/mediawiki/index.php/Ovirt_Reports).
Another Chinese article examines the oVirt Hosted Engine and how to get it up and running (http://www.bubuko.com/infodetail-384356.html).
Portuguese speakers, take note: TutoriaisGNULinux.com has posted a lot of helpful articles on oVirt (http://tutoriaisgnulinux.com/?s=ovirt&submit=Pesquisa)!
The ovirt-guest-agent project is formally starting to work on a guest agent for CentOS (http://www.devheads.net/people/59412)!
Working with oVirt Node and Foreman? Here'a a trick to prevent continuous reboots (http://dummdida.tumblr.com/post/97882897670/ovirt-node-and-foreman-reminder).
How to recover a VM from an "unknown" state, from Arman Khalatyan (http://arm2armcos.blogspot.co.il/2014/09/ovirt-343-1-recover-vm-from-unkn...).
Chris Cowley examines Open Source Hyper-converged Infrastructure, using oVirt along the way (http://www.chriscowley.me.uk/blog/2014/09/19/open-source-hyper-converged-...).
Ansible has a new module to handle oVirt and RHEV platform management (http://docs.ansible.com/ovirt_module.html).
How to set up additional subnet IPs on oVirt guests on a Hetzner dedicated server (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26096571/how-to-set-up-additional-subn...).
