Hi Yaniv,
I have already done a fair amount of tunning to run a minimal OS from a
USB stick and it seems to work reasonable well overtime, but nothing
rock solid and of course I wouldn't try it myself in a production oVirt
Node if that's not official.
Even if it's not running in memory it's just a question to create a
schema to avoid all unnecessary writes to permanent storage. Logs can be
limited to a short period in memory (in another Console) or sent to a
remote syslog server. It doesn't change much for the base OS to read
anything it needs.
I thought I had seen these years ago during the development of the first
versions of oVirt Node, but maybe I misunderstood or it was not
considered for newer versions.
Perhaps there is something around this on some roadmap. As I mentioned,
this is a significant saving for any platform not having to use any
disks in the Compute Nodes.
Regards,
Fernando

I have seen people do this online, but nothing official, so you can
try it.

Hello there,
With oVirt 4.0 Release is running oVirt Node in a SD Card or USB
Stick supported where the system boots in memory and only writes
configuration changes to permanent storage similar to what VMware
ESXi does ?
This is very useful and can save a significant amount on CAPEX and
running costs depending on the size of the cluster.
Thanks
Fernando
