In the past we've talked about running libvirt or ovirt on
alterway02.
Now that we have the server access we should really decide. I want to
reach an agreement before the next meeting (monday 18).
First let's review the benefits of each. Feel free to add here.
Benefits of libvirt:
- Simple to set up
- Uses little resources
Benefits of ovirt:
- Eating our own dogfood
- Scales beter when we want to have multiple nodes / HA features
- Has an extensive API
Both have:
- Good integration with foreman
So libvirt would be a better choice if we want to set up fast, but may
limit us in the longer run. Also may use fewer resources, but in the
long run ovirt may allows us to build a bit of monitoring on top of the
API.
I'd like to get more benefits and/downsides of each solution so we can
reach a conclusion fast.

I personally find it hard to understand the base point here.
how do we intend other people to use oVirt - if we are saying it's too
complicated/high-maintenance to use.
we aren't looking for the easiest way here, but the way we can make this
project be better (on this aspect as well).
if we find issues let's tackle them and solve it, working our way around
would bring no added value in the long term.
