E.g.: * What are your plans regarding the base OS, with the recent changes in CentOS? - Stay on oVirt 4.3 + CentOS 7 for the time being - Manually upgrade to CentOS Stream on both engine and hosts - Use only ovirt-node and the appliance [2] - Migrate to Red Hat Enterprise Linux or some rebuild of it (and please provide details - which one?) - More than one of the above, depending on use case (and please provide details) And perhaps also ask about plans in light of Red Hat's RHV roadmap [1], to slowly phase out RHV in favor of OpenShift Virtualization: * What are your plans for the next 2-3 years for your virtualization use (see also [1])? - Migrate to OKD/kubevirt - Stay on oVirt for the time being - Migrate to Oracle's OLVM and expect/ask that they continue supporting it further - Migrate to some other FOSS virtualization project (which? Please provide details) - Migrate to some proprietary product (which? Please provide details) [1] https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhev [2] ovirt-node and ovirt-engine-appliance are images created by oVirt for releases. These are going through at least basic testing before announcing a release. If/when oVirt starts basing them on CentOS Stream, one can expect them to be tested before the release, at least so that they can be considered some kind of a “stable base” to work from. Then, updating to newer versions of packages provided by CentOS Stream is up to the user: Some would prefer to not ever do this (until the next release of oVirt), some would cherry-pick specific updates as needed/relevant (e.g. security-related updates), and some might update everything daily (e.g. for testing).
