With the new leadership of the project, most users who admire and support oVirt
would like to know the roadmap and future plans.
From my perspective, I understand that Red Hat discontinued its support purely
for financial reasons. Therefore, this is probably one of the key areas where
oVirt needs to strengthen. Wouldn't it be worth seeking support and
collaboration with Veeam and Oracle, given its "OLVM"? Especially considering
that, after the VMware/Broadcom licensing changes, Oracle has been aggressively
offering OLVM to customers as a migration alternative.
A positive development was Veeam Backup & Replication recently adding support
for OLVM. This has increased interest in the solution, but there are still
limitations, such as migration/backup/restore between different hypervisors
(interestingly, this feature is available for Proxmox/KVM, which uses similar
technology).
These are some of the main questions from customers:
1. When will it be updated to Enterprise Linux 9 or 10?
2. What support will be available for new technologies?
3. How about a change in the Engine/Manager, allowing VMs to be managed even
when the Engine is unavailable!
(Sorry, but this is one of oVirt's biggest bottlenecks, and inevitably,
comparisons with VMware/VCenter arise.)
4. Support for VM migration between Datacenters should also be carefully
considered.
**Note**: The oVirt website needs to be more user-friendly for general users. I
also suggest a fundraising campaign—I would be happy to contribute, and I
believe the entire user base would as well!
