If you're content with the current RHEL licensing terms, its a great
choice for now.
Noone can tell you the future with certainty.
If you're just creating a virtualization cluster with external storage, why
not use the node-ng installer iso.
It will be updated as necessary for each new released version of oVirt.
Today it is CentOS8.3 based, but it will easily be changed once oVirt on
Stream is ready.

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!
