Subject: Re: [Users] What are you looking for from oVirt?
Hello,
I don't run currently any oVirt deployement in production but I
have
a lab.
I used to run in production the old oVirt product (in rails).
My best wishes for the future release of oVirt are :
* GluserFS support as many of us
* Nova (OpenStack Hypervisor) driver support (
http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/selecting...
).
I choose oVirt because my first goal is to manage a virtualized
datacenter with OSS. But we begin to look at private cloud
deployement.
I think Aeolus would work with oVirt virtualization backend but AFAIK
it only support redhat based linux which is not possible for us as
we run
Aelous has a RHEVM/oVirt driver that works today.
If there are problems getting Aeolus working with oVirt we should dig
into it, there shouldn't be any issues.
almost only debian server except for virtualisation layer. So we
would like to deploy OpenStack but to rely on oVirt for KVM
hypervisors.
Out of interest what are you getting from OpenStack that you
don't
get from oVirt
* Fully supported stateless ovirt-node
Regards,
Romain
