[ovirt-users] Ovirt node ready for production env?

[Vinícius Ferrão]

Hello Lionel,

Production ready it's definitely yes. Red Hat even sells RHV-H, which is the same thing as oVirt Node. But keep in mind one thing: it's an appliance. So modifications on the appliance isn't really supported. As far as I know oVirt Node is based on imgbase and updates/security are done through yum. But when an update is made everything is rewritten. So you will lose your modifications if you install additional packages on oVirt Node.

The host is stateless, so you don't really need to backup it, the core is running on hosted engine.

About the other questions, I can't add anything since I'm new to oVirt too. Perhaps someone could complete my answer.
