Hi, Sandro,


What are plans for oVirt development and/or migrations for large users, for example Brussel Airport ?

It has been a while since the last time I got any update from Brussel Airport, it would be nice to hear from them.

With my oVirt hat on, I would rather see large users keep using oVirt and eventually get someone assigned to help fixing the issue these large users see on their system, contributing back to the community also for those small users who don't have the resources for doing the same.
So in terms of what the oVirt community plans, I think the answer is: keep using oVirt.

That said, if the community is not going to do anything to keep the oVirt project healthy, I guess that at some point large users will have to consider moving to a different virtualization solution.
They can follow Red Hat vision on this, migrating the loads that can be moved to containers to OKD (which is getting rebased on CentOS Stream 9 these days) and those that can't be migrated to OKD Virtualization.
Or they can take a different direction and choose the replacement they like most.
Here's the result of the latest survey:

looks like the preferred alternatives are KubeVirt, VMWare and Proxmox. I still hope someone in the 82% staying with oVirt will start taking an active role in the project.
