Mike that's just as I suspected. To be super clear, does KVM in particular know how to distinguish between Ubuntu v12 versus v16? In other words, do I need to be running a specific version of KVM hypervisor so it can host guests running the latest version of Ubuntu?
Again, this was brought up as being a firm requirement but I've never ever heard of such a requirement unless we're debating KVM versus ESXi so I wanted to get my facts straight before I confirmed to the team one way or another. //adam *Adam Lawson* AQORN, Inc. 427 North Tatnall Street Ste. 58461 Wilmington, Delaware 19801-2230 Toll-free: (844) 4-AQORN-NOW ext. 101 International: +1 302-387-4660 Direct: +1 916-246-2072 On Fri, Sep 2, 2016 at 1:53 PM, Mike Smith <mism...@overstock.com> wrote: > Hi Adam - > > The OS of the guest is independent of the Openstack version.
