> CloudStack GSoC 2023 - Extend Import-Export Instances to the KVM Hypervisor
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CLOUDSTACK-10456
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-10456
> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Nicolás Vázquez
> Priority: Major
> Labels: gsoc2023, part-time
>
> Github issue: [https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/7127]
>
> Description:
> The Import-Export functionality is only allowed for the Vmware hypervisor.
> The functionality is developed within a VM ingestion framework that allows
> the extension to other hypervisors. The Import-Export functionality consists
> on few APIs and the UI to interact with them:
> * listUnmanagedInstances: Lists unmanaged virtual machines (not existing in
> CloudStack but existing on the hypervisor side)
> * importUnmanagedInstance: Import an unmanaged VM into CloudStack (this
> implies populating the database with the corresponding data)
> * unmanageVirtualMachine: Make CloudStack forget a VM but do not remove it
> on the hypervisor side
> The complexity on KVM should be parsing the existing XML domains into
> different resources and map them in CloudStack to populate the database
> correctly.
