&gt; Subject: [Users] What are the differences between ovirt and rhev<br>
<div class="im"><br>
&gt; Hi,<br>
<br>
&gt; I want to practise virtulization with the use of rhev.<br>
<br>
&gt; What are the differences if I use ovirt?<br>
<br>
</div>The upstream and downstream releases don&#39;t match up in terms of version numbers and schedule.<br>
Everything happens upstream in oVirt but the actual release timing and stabilization will be different.<br>
For example, right now ovirt 3.1 is out and RHEV 3.1 is in beta.<br>
By the time RHEV GA&#39;s (before end of year) they&#39;ll be a number of differences - for example RHEV 3.1 will include storage live migration, which won&#39;t get picked up in an upstream release until 3.2, although the work is all happening upstream.<br>


<br>
There&#39;s a significant QA team working on testing RHEV while upstream gets community testing and of course there&#39;s the usual backporting of fixes/features that you&#39;ll be used to if you use RHEL.<br></blockquote>

<div><br>yes. <br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
Overall it&#39;s a more polished and stable experience.<br>
There&#39;s ongoing discussions about how we get more polish and testing for the upstream releases - they&#39;ll never match what happens downstream in terms of testing and engineering resources but we do need to make the oVirt 3.2 release more polished than 3.1 was.<br>


<div class="im"><br>
<br></div></blockquote><div><br>that means, I can use ovirt for learning/testing purpose with either Fedora or CentOS asI do not have RHEV license. <br><br>Thanks for your useful explanation.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
