Hi Hayden
If you can do this - the word awesome would be an understatement ;-)
I have been using oVirt for 7 years now and it is a fantastic product (I started using it
when it was 3.1 or 3.4). I am in a similar position as Jason who started this thread. The
main goal of my experiment described above is to see if I can deploy it on bare metal
nodes with Rocky as a hypervisor replacement for CentOS. I actually wanted to convert to
Proxmox but wanted to give oVirt one more chance :)
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Branimir
Thanks, Branimir.
I am really hoping that Sandro and the rest of the oVirt team can help
make this possible for Rocky Linux. It seems like it won't be too
tricky. I've heard offline from a lot of people who would be very
interested in using Rocky Linux for this very purpose, so there's a lot
of interest out there. It would be a huge win for oVirt.
Jason.
