Hi all, Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) recently entered maintenance phase[1], and the RHV development team is gradually shifting its efforts over to other projects.
We are still around, subscribed to the mailing lists, answering questions and help as needed. There is a strong trend in the industry towards containers and microservices, and Red Hat's part of that is OpenShift. People that want to use OpenShift and still need virtualization, until they transition their workloads to run in containers, would best be served by using OpenShift Virtualization. Following this, if you are an oVirt user, you might want to try OKD Virtualization [2], the Community Distribution of Kubernetes that powers Red Hat OpenShift, and Forklift [3], a migration tool that facilitates the transition of VM workloads from oVirt to OKD Virtualization. We worked hard over the last year or so on making sure the oVirt project will be able to sustain development even without much involvement from us - including moving most of the infrastructure from private systems that were funded by/for oVirt/RHV, elsewhere - code review from Gerrit to GitHub, and CI (Continuous Integration) from jenkins to GitHub/Copr/CentOS CBS. We see lots of activity in the community both trying and using oVirt, and helping each other, which is great! We also see some work done on basing oVirt on Rocky/Alma Linux, which is also great! We’ll be happy to help with this, where our specific expertise is needed. Ultimately, the future of oVirt lies in the hands of the community. If you, as a community member, use and like oVirt, and want to see it thrive, now is the best time to help with this! In particular, we welcome long-time, active members of this list to join the list moderation team. If you want to help with this, please contact me directly, or email ovirt-users at ovirt.org. I am posting this message to both lists - users and devel, separately - deliberately not cross-posting. If you are subscribed to both, and feel like replying, please choose the list that best matches the content of your reply. Thanks! :-) Best regards, [1] https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhev [2] https://docs.okd.io/latest/virt/about-virt.html [3] https://www.konveyor.io/tools/forklift/ -- Didi _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/HEKKBM6MZEKBEAXTJT45N5BZT72VI67T/
