[ovirt-users] Re: Installing oVirt on RHEL vs CentOS Stream, Alma or Rocky Linux
you have 16 developer self support subscriptions from RH, those are
more than enough to
use with ovirt as a cluster/s.
I'd consider that an off-topic post.
And whilst we are off-topic, one of the main attractions of using TrueCentOS (the
downstream Community ENterprise Operating System) even when my employer has a fat Redhat
support contract that covers everything I do, is that I just didn't have to bother
with license management at all.
It's a whole set of processes, activities and knowledge I could simply strike off the
list and in the context of a lab environment with lots of machines and VMs getting created
and deleted every day, that is a huge benefit.
Well RHEL not supporting OpenVZ containers was another reason never to bother with it and
why we ran CentOS userlands even in PCI-DSS production.
I consider the benefit of zero license and subscription management still so significant,
that I am rather investing into Alma, Rocky, Liberty, OracleLinux or VzLinux than dealing
with RHEL.
And BetaCentOS aka SomethingStream just isn't an acceptable match for a hypervisor or
a management engine "for the entire enterprise": Beta is for the VMs, if your
work is low-level, but 99% of what we do is application level or in fact the science above
it, where Beta just adds work and risks without any benefit.
Sorry for the rant, but posting stuff like that is asking for it.
