In fact, our core production environment has been using redhat virtualization since 2015, and upgrading from rhev 3.3 to rhv4.3 all the way, the platform is getting better and better.
But the guys at Red Hat have been reluctant to tell us whether redhat virtualization will continue. I have tried kubevirt on openshift, and it is obviously far from an enterprise product.
So it is disappointed to hear that ovirt will stay at version 4.4, which means it will gradually die.
As said in previous reply, right now we're missing substantial features to be planned to justify a new 4.5 version.
As I’ve shared some months ago, we shifted towards a continuous “zstream” improvements in 4.4.z rather than a big bang version we used to do.
Main reason was the planning for next release was always a challenging task. It took a year for a feature to get into a GA version and since those plans rarely survived, we always ended up with different content than we planned anyway, and much later than we wanted.
For introduction of bigger features or breaking changes we always had the concept of cluster compatibility levels (and we introduced a 4.5 in 4.4.3, and probably a 4.6 in future), and with better CI…. we just believe that there’s no need for 9+ months release cycle.
