As far as I remember, oVirt does come with an all in one configuration , but looks like it
was deprecated at 3.6, So can you try out the self hosted engine?

Subject: [ovirt-users] Educational use case question
Hi
I am teaching IT subjects in TAFE (a kind of post-secondary technical college) in
Australia.
We are currently looking for a virtualisation platform that will allow students to install
and manage VMs via web interface.
VMware is being proposed but I am trying to get KVM and the RedHat ecosystem in the lab as
much as possible.
I have reasonable experience with running virt manager on CentOS 7, but oVirt is new. I
have it installed and running OK but am not sure how to proceed with configuration.
I basically want to run a single physical server which will be the KVM host, the ISO and
data store, and the home of oVirt engine ... in other words a complete oVirt-managed KVM
virtualisation platform running on one physical machine (32GB RAM). It will only ever need
to run a handful of VMs with little or no real data or load. Is this possible/feasible?
If possible/feasible, where should oVirt engine go ... on the host itself, or into a VM
guest?
The web interface is what is making oVirt an attractive option at this stage, as students
will be working from Windows clients on a corporate network. Do VM GUI display well in the
browser?
Thanks for any advice
Mike Hall
