No well we saw that only CPU’s are supported.
So we want to find out what hardware we need in order to progress.
Servers with the needed CPU architecture.
Not sure what you’re looking for. A developer kind of answer - you got that already. If
you want anything better I suggest you talk to a vendor who sells oVirt for a living and
help you with the right architecture fitting your needs.
List of certified Intel CPUs for RHEL (and hence CentOS) is here [1] and here[2]. We also
support IBM POWER8 and POWER9, and if you wanna start something really big, IBM zSystem
mainframes as a tech preview;-)
Thanks,

oVirt as we add the relevant qemu-kvm having them, e.g. right now the “best” x86_64 Intel
CPU is Skylake-Server and you can run it on any RHEL/CentOS 7.6 supported hw capable of at
least that, e.g. any Cascade Lake.
