OK
BTW [OT]: is RHV-H 4.4.6 host image ready for cluster level 4.6 or not yet?
Yes, oVirt Node 4.4.6 is based CentOS Stream:
1907833 - Rebase oVirt Node on CentOS Stream 8
I was referring to the downstream product with RHV-H 4.4.6... it is because of this that I used the [OT] I'm not sure if this 4.6 level is ready only upstream right now and needs further improvements to go downstream to RHV, or if it is already there production ready.
This is indeed off-topic, but I do not think we have to hide anything - everyone knows that almost all of oVirt's development is done by Red Hat people. For many years, the oVirt project struggled with our scheduling and release cycles - we wanted to be able to use and rely on newer features of RHEL, when available, but also to do a decent job for oVirt users, who do not have access to RHEL the moment it's GA. As developers, and also as Red Hatters, we already had access to internal development versions of RHEL, so could QA on them prior to releases (of both RHEL and oVirt/RHV). But what to do with oVirt users? It was always hard. We often ended up rebuilding RHEL SRPMs right after their release, in copr, before CentOS included them, for oVirt - including adding these to ovirt-release* rpms, and including having to later remove them from there once CentOS did include them - just so that oVirt users can use them before they are available in CentOS Linux. With the move to CentOS Stream, all of this is gone. oVirt is only building upon Stream, always has the latest bits, and everyone is happy! Well, at least in theory. In practice, everything is still new to all of us, but I think that generally speaking, things are working well. To answer your direct question: RHV 4.4.6 is based on RHEL+AV 8.4, and the release dates of each part were coordinated internally for this. Best regards, -- Didi
