Hello, I am interested in being part of ovirt for gsoc 2017. I have looked into ovirt project ideas and the project that I find most suitable is Configuring the backup storage in ovirt. Since the ovirt online docs have sufficient info for getting started for development so I don't have a questions about that but I want to clarify one doubt that did the previous year mentioned project on ovirt gsoc page are also available to work on? I will also appreciate any discussion about the project or question from mentor side.Even some guideline for start working is welcome. Thanks, Shubham

cloud-init metadata service
by Marc Young 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

Ive looked through what documentation I can find and i only come up on bug reports from years ago, but: is there anyway to get metadata about a oVirt server metadata from the context of a VM ? cloud-init supports a metadata service that sits on 169.254.169.254 to retrieve info like instance-id etc. This is very useful in AWS which I'm familiar with. My context is that I'd like to run some assertions against a VM and the test framework I'm using runs all assertions from within the VM itself. So If i wanted to assert that the host running my VM is "x.foo.com" I'd have to be able to retrieve that from within the VM. I can do that via the REST API but that requires me to get a REST user/pass inside the vm and feels hacky. The common way of doing this at openstack/aws is to curl the metadata service which replies with information only relevant to the machine asking.

Hi, just seen https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/73182/ merged and no info on why all those jobs have been dropped. Can anybody update on this? As far as I can tell 4.y jobs are still needed. Or am I missing something? Thanks, -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology. Faster innovation. Powered by community collaboration. See how it works at redhat.com

Displaying external kvm VMs in Engine UI?
by Milan Zamazal 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

I was thinking why external VMs are not displayed in the VM list in Engine UI. Of course, in theory there shouldn't be any VMs running on the hosts out of oVirt control. But in reality they sometimes are and then it would be good to know about their existence -- I should be aware that something strange is present, either as a result of my or someone's else actions. Or vice versa, is there any reason to hide them? What do you think? Thanks, Milan

by Tomas Jelinek 01 Mar '17

01 Mar '17

Hi All, it is my pleasure to propose Filip Krepinsky (suomiy) as the new maintainer of the moVirt project! Filip has joined the moVirt project 11th November 2015 by this commit: https://github.com/matobet/moVirt/commit/d37e71a436e38b6342903b991a30a8f358… and since than with his 140 commits became the contributor with second most patches (from 13 contributors in total). He have also contributed to the aSPICE project and was active in finding issues in the oVirt core (around dashboard). His patches are well crafted and I'm absolutely sure he will do great as a maintainer. have a nice day, Tomas
