August 2024 is very close if we are talking about a migration.

oVirt is very nice and powerfull, but if there isn’t enough maintainers it is doomed.

I would recommend reading https://blogs.ovirt.org/2022/02/future-of-ovirt-february-2022/ and https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/HEKKBM6MZEKBEAXTJT45N5BZT72VI67T/ 

For what it's worth, I started rolling out an oVirt 4.5.5 release with all the changes introduced in 2023 (and already available if you're using nightly repositories as suggested, so no big news other than perhaps making life easier to first time users).

That’s a very good news.

If there's enough interest within oVirt users community, there are ways to keep the project alive even with Red Hat phasing out (hiring developers directly or sponsoring through a foundation ; dedicating time and resources internally ; hiring consultants for fixing specific issues and so on).

I hope someone will do that. I’m sorry that I have no time or ressource to help.

The alternative as you suggested is to migrate to some other virtualization system and let the project gracefully die.


That would be a very sad news, but we needs to keep that possibility in mind.
