Subject: Integrating oVirt and Gluster geo-replication to provide a DR solution
To: devel <devel@ovirt.org>


Hi all,

Though there are many solutions that integrate with oVirt to provide disaster recovery for the guest images, these solutions either rely on backup agents running on guests or third party software and are complicated to setup

Since oVirt already integrates with glusterfs, we can leverage gluster's geo-replication feature to mirror contents to a remote/secondary site periodically for disaster recovery, without the need for additional software

Please review the PR[1] for the feature page outlining the solution and integration in oVirt.
Comments and feedback welcome.
