I've done some looking around to find the status of oVirt running on Ubuntu 14.04 and later. I found the announcement of the ovirt-guest-agent for Ubuntu but I see nothing about the oVirt Engine on Ubuntu. Given that KVM works fine on Ubuntu, I'm curious what's preventing all of oVirt from working on Ubuntu. Cordially, Jon Forrest
oVirt is the upstream source project for RedHat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV). As expected, its only supported on CentOS 7 (and older versions on 6) On Thu, Oct 20, 2016 at 6:46 PM, Jon Forrest <jon.forrest@locationlabs.com> wrote:

This makes sense. But, do either of these components work on Ubuntu, and, if so, how well? Thanks for any information. Jon Forrest
Probably not. There are a lot of difference between CentOS/RHEL & Ubuntu/Debian in this regard - paths like /etc/sysconfig and similar that it expects. You can run Ubuntu VMs, of course, which is why you found the guest utilities. If you want Debian-backed KVM solution you can look to Proxmox On Thu, Oct 20, 2016 at 7:22 PM, Jon Forrest <jon.forrest@locationlabs.com> wrote:

This sounded promising so I checked this out. It turns out that it only works on Debian, not Ubuntu, in spite of their similarity. So, it looks like there's no oVirt-like package available for Ubuntu. I'd love to be proven wrong. Jon Forrest

Milan Zamal is working on porting to Debian. He may give you some more updated information. As always, help in the effort is welcome :-)
Thanks for any information.

As for Ubuntu/Debian guests, there were some bugs in Debian packaging of ovirt-guest-agent that have been recently fixed by the Debian maintainer. I think ovirt-guest-agent package is unchanged in Ubuntu, so the updated version should work there. As for Ubuntu/Debian hosts, it's more complicated. The supporting libraries for Vdsm are available as Debian packages although they probably need to be updated to current upstream versions. The major problem is Vdsm itself. I tried to make it working on Debian, but it's not an easy task, some things work and some don't (e.g. the networking setup is different on Debian based systems). Currently Vdsm is not usable on Debian, more fixes are needed. If anybody is interested in that work, I can provide more information. As for Engine, I don't know about any plans to make it running on Debian or its derivatives. One can run Engine in a VM or a container so there is no real motivation to port it to systems other than CentOS or RHEL.
As always, help in the effort is welcome :-)
Definitely! :-) Regards, Milan
