People would often ask me about managing a 1-2 hosts setup and Kimchi fits right in and I'll be happy to demo it once I have the opportunity. | 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?) | 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 | I agree keeping user experience and interoperability are important to make it a valuable member of the oVirt ecosystem. This should allow Kimchi users to grow their setups on the one hand, while test a specific VM locally using Kimchy on the other hand. So +1 from me, as long as we make sure users can benefit both projects together without needing to re-create their guests. | > | > More information about Kimchi is available at: | > | > http://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi | > | > Let me know if there is additional information I can provide about the | > project. | > | > Regards, | > | > Anthony Liguori | > | > _______________________________________________ | > Board mailing list | > Board@ovirt.org | > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/board | > | | _______________________________________________ | Board mailing list | Board@ovirt.org | http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/board |
