Hi, Thanks for getting involved with oVirt!
1) The ability to quickly create a new VM from a template, whilst hiding some of the complexity from the user.
It seems to me you can gain the same simplicity benefits by using VM pools and with no additional code... While cloud environments have made people used to dynamically spinning up VMs, this is a hammer that does not fit all nails, a pool of stateless pre-created VMs might suit your need better, and will work faster from an individual user's point of view. It is also more efficient in storage terms.
2) The ability to provide some of the more advanced features whilst hiding some of the complexities of the Extended view ...
Proposed Solution A: Create a third tab ...
Proposed Solution B: Similar to the above ...
Proposed Solution C: Add settings that will allow the user to enable/disable GUI elements in the userportal as required.
I would go with solution C which seems to me the most generally useful...
3) Ability to specify sets of VM templates which can be created as new VMs together
In conjunction with my proposal for feature 1, think about how this would work for pools... -- Barak Korren bkorren@redhat.com RHEV-CI Team
