[ovirt-users] Re: oVirt alternatives

Hi Sandro Thanks for sharing, probably the stand out question to the uninitiated would be; why not integrate oVirt as OpenShift's virtualization stack? Thanks Angus ________________________________ From: Sandro Bonazzola <sbonazzo(a)redhat.com&gt; Sent: Monday, 21 February 2022, 8:31 am To: Nathanaël Blanchet Cc: users Subject: [ovirt-users] Re: oVirt alternatives Il giorno dom 20 feb 2022 alle ore 22:47 Nathanaël Blanchet <blanchet@abes.fr<mailto:blanchet@abes.fr>> ha scritto: Hello, Is okd/openshift virtualization designed to be a full replacement of ovirt/redhat by embedding the same level of advanced oVirt is a very mature project, integrated with most of the Red Hat ecosystem, mostly being maintained without any new big features. It has live-snapshot, live-storage-migration, memory overcommit management, passthrough of a very specific PCI device on a particular host, a VM portal, OpenShift IPI. It lacks integrated container management. OKD Virtualization is being very actively developed quickly closing gaps. It has integrated container management, ability to leverage the k8s distributed architecture/infrastructure and to leverage k8s assets like exclusive CPU placements. It currently lacks live-snapshot, live-storage-migration, memory overcommit management, passthrough of a very specific PCI device on a particular host, VM portal (OKD UI is more similar to Admin portal), thin-provisioning (of VMs on top of templates), hot (un)plug (disk/memory/NIC), high availability with VM leases, incremental backup, VDI features like template versions, sealing (virt-sysprep). So OKD is not feature complete replacement for oVirt yet. -- Sandro Bonazzola MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA R&D RHV Red Hat EMEA<https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%... sbonazzo@redhat.com<mailto:sbonazzo@redhat.com> [https://static.redhat.com/libs/redhat/brand-assets/2/corp/logo--200.png]&...
