Hi Rafael,
Welcome to CloudStack and thanks for your mail.
What RPM packages did you use for your testing?
From my personal experience I know that the CentOS7 (el7) packages for
CloudStack 4.4 work just fine as a KVM hypervisor (on CentOS 7.1). In 4.5 work
is done to also make it work as a Management server. So, what exact problems do
you run into when installing the RPM’s on CentOS 7.1?
As far as I know, the centos7-rpm branch is old and no longer maintained. I’d
recommend using the 4.5 and/or master branches instead, as these are most up to
date and actively maintained.
Feel free to send a PR to fix what you think is broken.
Regards,
Remi
