thanks for your interest. Could you elaborate what your thoughts
related to CentOS 7 and the CentOS virtualization SIG are? I am
not sure I exactly understand what you are proposing and it is
also not quite clear to me whether there is some overlap with
other SIGs (such as the Cloud SIG).<br>
<br>
I guess the key question I have is whether you are suggesting /
considering to use the output of the virtualization SIG as
upstream for OpenNode and would want to contribute to the SIG.<br>
<br>
Best Regards<br>

Dear Scott, Lars,<br>
<br>
Currently we already have CentOS 6 based respin (called OpenNode -
<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://opennodecloud.com">http://opennodecloud.com</a>)
targeted for virtualization - supporting both OpenVZ and QEMU/KVM
at the moment - yet it would be possible to add Xen/LXC/Docker
support as well - as we are based on libvirt.<br>
<br>
We are just discussing some ideas how we would like to develop
next major version - CentOS 7 based virtualization host - yet we
would be really interested for having an open discussion and
community based development - if anybody wants to join in or there
will be some interest to create something like community CentOS
virtualization host project - where we could join. Our current
ideas are spinning around CoreOS like (perhaps stateless) CentOS 7
compute host with modern clustering built-in (perhaps etcd) - and
we still want to continue to support both containers and full
virtual machines on the same host. Hopefully also Docker will be
mature enough soon and supporting OpenVZ userland tools - as LXC
and OpenVZ share the kernel part and surprisingly LXC seems still
not enough mature/feature rich - yet LXC project has existed
already quite a long time (which makes me a bit pessimistic
predicting on future LXC progress pace). LXC container <span>isolation
features still suck a bit (for production systems) and still no
live migration feature - yet support for it seems to come from
OpenVZ team - as <a moz-do-not-send="true"
class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://criu.org">http://criu.org</a>.
</span>But hopefully we can get rid of OpenVZ patched kernels - so
it will be only the choice of userspace tools (for containers).<br>
<br>
Our goal would be to have something way simpler than Openstack
(which is huge and quite a mess in its current state - if you
really want to create a production grade system with it) - and to
have a nicely packaged + easy to use system (which might not
support all 1001 ways of doing the same thing - yet enforcing some
simple best-practices).<br>
<br>
So - if anybody interested - lets discuss!<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
