hi Anthony,
I think it will be great to compliment the ovirt solution.
Is the idea to try and match the user portal/power user portal look and
feel / style?
I think its important to try and make it feel its coming from the same
family.
we'll VMs and templates be portable from one to the other (via ovf?
something else?)
I think it is a nice idea.
A way I see such an integration happening is by being able to export a
VM in oVirt into an ova file (OVF and the images) and then being able to
import this file into Kimchi, and of course the other way around.
An interesting point to note here is that oVirt and Kimchi should be
aligned on the OVF format they use (OVF is supposedly standard but
de-facto it is not exactly so).
I could see myself using the above functionality :)
show list of VMs from a remote ovirt-engine as well?
do i understand correctly its a simplified web based "virt-manager", or
'server oriented' boxes, or am i missing something?
(say, what's the envisioned roadmap of development for features?)
Thanks,
Itamar
