How can I let others safely manage there own virtual machine
Hello, I'm new to this so I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips. I work for a company and we deploy software which needs to work together with other software, domain policies, proxy, etc. For this we often set up a new virtual machine to simulate potential problems and give us the opportunity to investigate. So I was wondering how do I best go about doing this and give multiple users the ability to create new machines from templates but put restrictions on how many vm's they can create, the disk space they use and the network bandwidth they use. If there is a way to also limit in time how long the created vm's can exist would also be very interesting. Kind regards.

I'd suggest you read the docs engine-manage-domains, ovirt can use: LDAP, AD, freeIPA for user provisioning, you can restrict them in ovirt.

Users can be granted with PowerUser role to allow them to create VMs. Restricting the resources can be done using the Quota feature (http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Quota). cc-ing also Gilad in case he has a better link describing the Quota feature. Oved

It sounds like you need the oVirt user portal. You can get more information about defining permissions & user profiles, and accessing the user portal, in the quick start guide (starting at the "Using virtual machines" section): http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide#Using_Virtual_Machines There's a video here for defining quotas with the user quota: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zazJ_fW05Qk Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Neary - Community Action and Impact Open Source and Standards, Red Hat - http://community.redhat.com Ph: +33 9 50 71 55 62 / Cell: +33 6 77 01 92 13

There's a video here for defining quotas with the user quota: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zazJ_fW05Qk
Thanks Dave and Oved, that's exactly my thoughts :-) Adding 2 more videos from that series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jExFWEojF4c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8qUoRImimY Quota feature didn't change much since 3.1, only got stable, so no worries about version in the videos. Andy, if you any questions/suggestions, feel free :-) Since there are already 3 videos, and the fact we have a new l&f in 3.5, thinking of doing a new series (following 'Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' ;-) ).
Cheers, Dave.
