Subject: libvirt or ovirt
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'm in favor of using oVirt, we know foreman supports integration with it, so it
shouldn't be a problem to use it together.
I'd go with a stable version instead of a nightly version though.
It might take a bit more time, but we've waited so far, i think it's better to
wait a bit longer and do it properly,
and won't do a temporary solution because using libvirt is simpler.
Eyal.
I'd like to get more benefits and/downsides of each solution so we
can
reach a conclusion fast.
