PaulAngus commented on issue #3609: Improve Guest OS additions and mappings URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/3609#issuecomment-536586520 I believe that the entire methodology around supporting hypervisor versions needs refactoring. Users/operators should not need to be independently adding OSes. I would like to see some kind of file (probably json) which describes a hypervisor type+version, it's capabilities, it's supported GuestOSes, and any string mappings required. Operators would then 'import/activate' the 'file' for the hypervisors that they are supporting, and new versions of hypervisor (which don't require core code changes) could be provided outside of CloudStack's release cycle. CloudStack would also only 'present' the Guest OS lists supplied by the Hypervisor (via the json file) rather than an 'all-encompassing' list of hundreds of OS types. for example wrt CentOS, vSphere and XenServer only cares 5.x, 6.x 7.x, (64bit vs 32 bit) KVM doesn't care at all. So 10s of CentOS versions is pointless....
