Hi all,
I'm trying to organize my wishes/hopes for oVirt 4.0
These items derive from both solitary mumblings and community talks at the
the first Italian oVirt Meetup.
Thanks Giuseppe!
I offer to help in coding (work/family schedules permitting) but keep in
mind that I'm a sysadmin with mainly C and bash-scripting skills (but
hoping to improve my less-than-newbie Python too...)
Since I have related interests/wishes also for Engine and VDSM, I'll send
a separate message for each one.
Let's start from the oVirt Node:
*) oVirt Node complete convergence with Atomic Host: start from Project
Atomic tools and define an ISO-installable Atomic Host variant [1] to
include gluster, qemu, libvirt, vdsm and all the packages/configurations
that an oVirt Node would need (remove unneeded parts)
*) add Samba, CTDB and Ganesha to oVirt Node to allow it to be used as a
full storage appliance (specifically, I'm thinking of the GlusterFS
integration); there are related wishlist items on configuring/managing
Samba/CTDB/Ganesha on the Engine and on VDSM
*) add oVirt Node ability to host containers (independent of the above
mentioned convergence with Atomic); note that Atomic Host has
Docker/Kubernetes, but libvirt already has a LXC driver [2] and the Engine
could benefit from some added smartness in managing groups of guests etc.
in the vm case too; there are related wishlist items on
configuring/managing containers on the Engine and on VDSM
*) add Open vSwitch direct support (not Neutron-mediated); there are
related wishlist items on configuring/managing Open vSwitch on the Engine
and on VDSM
*) add DRBD9 as a supported Storage Domain type, maybe for HC and HE too;
there are related wishlist items on configuring/managing DRBD9 on the
Engine and on VDSM
*) add oVirt Node ability to fully perform as a stand-alone hypervisor: I
hear that Cockpit is coming, so why not Kimchi too? ;)
Regards,
Giuseppe
[1] product.json, I suppose, but I'm starting to learn Atomic now...
[2] barring a pending deprecation in RHEL7, but I suppose that a
community/Centos-Virt-SIG libvirt build could restore it and maybe RedHat
too could support it on a special libvirt build for RHEV (just to remove
those support costs from the base RHEL OS offering)
