Testers: please continue testing the released Alpha and providing feedback https://trello.com/b/3FZ7gdhM/ovirt-450-test-day

A few packages that were meant to be shipped today as part of the beta release have been already pushed to testing repositories so you can already provide some feedback on the beta sanity.

Known issues:

- hyperconverged deployment doesn't work due to missing updated gluster-ansible-roles packages

- ovirt-engine is still using ansible 2.9.27 and wasn't updated from 4.5.0 Alpha

- ovirt-appliance and oVirt Node have not been built with current content of the testing repos as beta has been rescheduled

Be aware the RHEL 8.6 Beta has been released yesterday so you can already try running on top of it.

Rocky Linux announced they're already building 8.6 beta as well so it may be possible to start testing on top of it soon as well.

Professional Services, Integrators and Backup vendors: please run a test session against your additional services, integrated solutions,

downstream rebuilds, backup solution on the released alpha release and report issues as soon as possible.
