new to oVirt community, I'm wondering what is the current status about ARM64 support
in the oVirt upstream, as I saw the oVirt Wikipedia page mentioned there is an ongoing
efforts to support ARM platform. We have a small team here and we are willing to also help
to make this work.
Hi Zhenyu,
I think this is a great idea, both supporting more hardware, and
enlarging the oVirt
community.
Regarding hardware support we depend mostly on libvirt and qemu, and I
don't know
that is the status. Adding relevant lists and people.
libvirt and qemu both support aarch64 guests and hosts for years now,
as do various KVM mgmt apps, so I think its largely just a matter of
the oVirt code that needs porting and updating to deal with any aarch64
specific aspects.
Regards,
Daniel
