Future of oVirt as RHV is converging with OpenShift

What is the future of oVirt with RHV 4.4 being the last RHV release? - see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhev With the release of RHV 4.4 Red Hat continues to invest in and support customers with a production-ready virtualization portfolio. The latest addition to this portfolio is OpenShift with OpenShift Virtualization, which provides continuity and roadmap delivery for the KVM-based virtualization stack currently managed by RHV. Moving forward the RHV management feature set will be converged with OpenShift and OpenShift Virtualization providing customers with requirements for containers and VMs a migration path and a common platform for deploying and managing both.

Hmmm... I'm also interested in that one.

Similar question has been asked in "Is there a plan for ovirt 4.5 and furture versions?"[1] thread. As a product, Red Hat Virtualization has a different lifecycle than oVirt which is a community project. What will be the future of oVirt project depends on how the community will be shaping it. You're welcome to contribute shaping this future! About the versioning, the beginning of oVirt 4.4 we shifted towards a continuous “zstream” improvement in 4.4.z rather than a big bang version as we used to do.

Yeah, but without big software companies it will be quite hard. If Red Hat shifts to Openshift, I am afraid that this project will be going into oblivion.

My guess: if this happens then probably because OVirt/RHEV wasn't successful enough in attracting paying customers. From time to time I tried to find reference customers but I never found a real success story. At least here in Western Europe I've never heard of a company that uses OVirt instead of vSphere/Hyper-V/whatever with the exception of a rumor about a British airline. And now with IBM as new owner, commercial success might even become more important. just my 2 cents. cu, Uwe

I know several telecoms in Bulgaria use RHV, but they are small clients. Yet, Openshift with 3 nodes looks quite difficult, while oVirt/RHV excells.

As I understand it, Openshift is mostly about containers, it is a different product for different customers... Let's hope they know what they're doing. cu, Uwe

hi my understanding is that we can use openshift with containers and vms. it would be a possible option but inside an industry enviroment i need to freeze versions and ovirt 4.3 allows this. i am not sure what openshift is doing. br marcel Am 6.
