[ovirt-users] Re: Desktops as Nodes and Client?
FreeIPA would be ideal for user management if don't already have an alternative.
You could have a minimal install and use KVM/libvirt for the local VMs
Gnome Boxes could be the interface for VMs

https://fedoramagazine.org/download-os-gnome-boxes/
You could use katello/foreman ManageIQ to provision the baremetal machines as well the
libvirt provider.
You could sell/donate the desktop PCs and replace them servers/thin clients.

Hi,
I'm starting to look at oVirt to help with a datacentre consolidation
project to drastically reduce the number of physical servers and it
seems like a great fit.
As an added bonus, it looks like it might help solve some desktop
management challenges we have. Since the desktop PCs are reasonably
powerful, what I would ideally like is for them to be nodes, each
capable of running a single templated VM accessed by the local user.
I can only seem to find documentation relating to standard VDI, i.e
thin clients and fat servers. As I'm trying to reduce the number of
servers, this is not ideal.
Does anyone know of a similar setup or can provide some pointers?
Thanks

What about just using something like SpaceWalk for management and
FreeIPA for user management?
You're not supposed to use a oVirt node as a workstation IIRC.
