Seems you’ve hit sales people instead of a developer community, that’s usually a different experience. > > Please remember, I have never seen a working demo of this product, never. > > Is this typical behavior of RH partners? I hope not. But we as oVirt community project can’t really tell. As far as I can see they only claim to support certain OpenStack versions and whether they work on other support is something entirely on them. Of course I’m hoping that they will eventually finish it and support oVirt/RHV to widen user’s choices, but we can’t really influence if and when that happens. Also there is certain difference between community project and Red Hat products. A commercial company may decide to focus on supporting products rather than upstream projects (e.g.. AFAICT the existing trilio support for openstack means Red Hat OpenStack Platform product, not a ”xyz" upstream release) and so it is not too surprising to me they may work on different schedules, targets, etc. Thanks, michal > > On Feb 7 2019, at 9:05 pm, Strahil <hunter86...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hey Femi, > > Just run away ...
