oVirt or Proxmox with Cloudstack

  • 772

I am using a cloud infrastructure based on XenServer and orchestrated by Cloudstack for lab purposes, and I want to try another KVM hypervisor on the same cloud. Is it possible to use oVirt or Proxmox along with Cloudstack? I mean.. is oVirt/Proxmox similar to XenCenter and able to cooperate with Cloudstack?

  1. CloudStack has native support for KVM, you don't need any additional component such as oVirt or Proxmox. You can deploy/setup new KVM hosts and add them to a new KVM-based cluster in CloudStack. See http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/installguide/hypervisor/kvm.html and http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/latest/adminguide/hosts.html

  2. https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.14.0.0/conceptsandterminology/concepts.html#what-can-apache-cloudstack-do says oVirt and Proxmox are both not on the list.

    If you are willing to explore other management options, you could try ManageIQ - it supports oVirt, Openstack VMWare, k8s and a bunch of other platforms (No Xen though)
