Any plans on oVirt Major release with new feature?

Hi, I would like to know if there is any plans for major release with new feature for consider alternative of other hypervisor? I've been using the oracle ovirt for couple of years pretty good one. I would like know the future of oVirt as well along with feature plans.

Same question for me. Since Red Hat Virtualizazion is going out of support, we need to know if Ovirt is still alive and development continues. Furthermore, do you know if there is a professional support offer for an Ovirt production infrastructure? Thanks

Hi, let me try to answer your questions:
I would like to know if there is any plans for major release with new feature for consider alternative of other hypervisor?
As of today, there's no discussion about a new major release neither on devel mailing list nor on users mailing list. Nobody stepped in to lead the next major release development. I think this is a good thread for those companies who are thinking about putting some effort on oVirt sharing their plans.
I've been using the oracle ovirt for couple of years pretty good one. I would like know the future of oVirt as well along with feature plans.
I wrote a blog post about the future of oVirt around 2 years ago here: https://blogs.ovirt.org/2022/02/future-of-ovirt-february-2022/ ; nothing really changed since then.
Since Red Hat Virtualizazion is going out of support, we need to know if Ovirt is still alive and development continues.
Despite no major release is currently being planned, yes, oVirt development is still continuing. As an example here are the commits since last release of oVirt Engine package: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/compare/ovirt-engine-4.5.6...master
do you know if there is a professional support offer for an Ovirt production infrastructure?
You can find something here: https://www.ovirt.org/community/user-stories/users-and-providers.html ; I guess there are others who probably will reply to you in private. Hope it helps, -- Sandro Bonazzola

I have some good news to share, and that is that we will continue working on oVirt! As we want to keep development active, we can share that we have an open position to work on oVirt now: https://careers.team.blue/jobs/4597190-java-python-developer-virtualization-... If somebody would be interested, feel free to contact me directly. But you can expect more and more patches from our side hopefully :) And hopefully some other companies jump the ship and get oVIrt development up-to-speed again! As there is no (open source) alternative at this moment that comes even close to oVirt. On 27/05/2024 09:22, Sandro Bonazzola wrote:

Great to hear this! oVirt is indeed a great project.

I hope you find someone! I've already seen some of your contributions in git, so thank you for your sponsorship! Renaud

Thank you for this excellent new, looking forward to seeing what will happen. Can you tell me if some ovirt derivated projects such as OKD/openshift IPI oVirt provider and ovirt CSI drivers have any chance to be maintained again? They have been removed since OKD 4.14 version while OKD really rocks upon oVirt virt! Le mardi 11 juin 2024 à 16:22 +0200, Jean-Louis Dupond via Users a écrit :

Think you should ask the OKD community for that no? :) On 11/06/2024 18:28, Nathanaël Blanchet wrote:

Hi, Jean-Louis, What distro you are using as base for oVirt? Rocky or Alma linux ?

Jean-Louis perhaps your team can post a message with short/long term plans about 4.5.6 release (EL8 still in scope? EL9 appliance?) and 4.6 release (EL10 support?). Perhaps a list of nice to have where any other company or individual contributor may want to volunteer helping with? Perhaps triaging / targeting: - Untargeted PRs (no milestone set) https://github.com/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+user%3Aovirt+archived%3Afalse+n... - Untargeted issues(no milestone set) https://github.com/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+user%3Aovirt+archived%3Afal... -- Sandro Bonazzola
