Preferred RHEL Based Distro For oVirt
Good Day All; i am inquiring about which RHEL based distros are currently preferred and which ones are currently supported. I know the oVirt project is a RH entity and so RHEL and CentOS-Stream are the base offering. Would it, or is it, feasible for Rocky 8.X, or Alma 8.X to be the base OS for an oVirt deployment seeing as though they both RHEL clones ? How confident is the user community in the stability of CentOS-Stream in terms of production use as compared to Alma or Rocky ?

I'm pretty happy with my experience with CentOS Stream in production. I've been using it for the past couple of years with no issues, and getting fixes as they are made in the code makes it a lot easier for my systems to be continually improving while remaining stable. That said, I've also had decent experience with AlmaLinux as a RHEL clone. From an oVirt-specific perspective, the project is actively developing and testing against CentOS Stream, so you're likely to have a pretty good experience on it, and if there are issues, the oVirt project and the CentOS Virtualization SIG can respond pretty quickly to resolve them in the distro itself as needed. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!

Same as above. Using CentOS 8 stream on multiple production (and testing) setup, ranging from low-end single hosts test setups to large clusters. Near-zero issues. - Gilboa
