Hi Nir & RedHat team

Cloned VM support in RHV.

There are two types of clones as per my understanding

Full Cloned VM: Independent copy of a virtual machine that shares nothing with the parent template after the cloning operation.
Dependent Cloned VM: It is a copy of a virtual machine that shares virtual disks with the parent template. This type of clone is made from a snapshot of the parent which is qcow2 image. All files available on the parent at the moment of the snapshot continue to remain available to the linked clone. Ongoing changes to the virtual disk of the parent do not affect the linked clone, and changes to the disk of the linked clone do not affect the parent.

We want to know what the customer preference ( 1 or 2) as both have pros & cons. What is the guidance given by RHV around this? How do we recommend customers to patch the template disks when multiple VMs are cloned from it? Kindly provide more details.

Is there a way to we can mount a QCOW2 image using QCOW2 mounter and have a block level view of the data ? We read about libguestfs but this is filesystem view.

We would like to know when we can expect “Allocation Regions API” . I’m referring to

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1622946

This is marked for 4.3 at this point in time. I presume we will get it as part of 4.2.X release as well.

Kindly confirm ?

Thanks
