Re: [Libvirt-cim] Release roadmap for Libvirt-cim

Hi Gaurav, GC> I'm interested in understanding the development roadmap for GC> libvirt-cim, what is the feature set that is provided in the GC> current release and what else can be expected in the months to GC> come. It depends on which platform you're interested in. I think we're getting pretty close to supporting what libvirt supports for each platform, at a high level. There are some details that we don't cover at the moment, like supporting all of the different network types that KVM supports, etc. I'm planning to snap another release shortly after Fedora 9 releases to refresh the version there. It will look mostly like what is in our development tree right now. For future releases I have the following high-level goals: - Scheduling parameter support - LXC support - Integration with other physical instrumentation for the HostSystem and host physical devices - Proper modeling of the virtual console - Create/Destroy/Modify of resource pools for network and disk to correspond to the underlying functions in libvirt Do you have anything you'd like to see in that list? GC> Moreover, what is a realistic timeframe within which we can see GC> "libvirt" like functionality being made avaiable through the CIM GC> provider (actually managing VMs, provisioning, modifying resource GC> allocations and other lifecycle management functions)? Doesn't most of that work already? Defining guests, modifying their resources, and pushing them through the lifecycle is something we have been able to do for quite some time now.
