[ovirt-users] oVirt on a single server

[Fernando Frediani]

Adding Kimchi to oVirt node perhaps may be the easiest option. It can be 
pretty useful for many situations and doesn't need such thing like 
mounting NFS in localhost.

It is not nice to not have a All-in-One stable solution anymore as this 
can help with its adoption for later growth.

oVirt-Cockpit looks nice and intresting.
