I want to set up a small cluster consisting of 2 Hypervisor nodes (self-hosted engine)
with shared storage (SAN, ISCSI).
According to
https://www.ovirt.org/download/ the following Operating Systems are supported
with the latest oVirt version (4.4.4):
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3
- CentOS Linux 8.3
- CentOS Stream (Tech Preview)
My doubts are:
- RHEL 8.3 is free to use up tp 16 hosts, but until when? Red Hat can decide at anytime to
change their subscription program.
- CentOS Linux is no more, support will stop at the end of 2021.
- CentOS Stream is in Tech Preview. I don't like running production environments on
"tech preview / beta" versions.
I would say CentOS 7, it will receive maintenance updates up to 2024, and switch to RHEL
in 2024 if the free-to-use program is still active. Unfortunately, CentOS 7 seems not to
be supported.
On what Operating System are you running oVirt 4.4.4 and why? Any feedback and advice is
welcome. Thanks!
