In fact, most of the project's build and test infrastructure is based on CentOS VMs running on oVirt. Having said that, if your customer bought RHV support licenses, running CentOS on it may or may not violate his support licensing terms. Please verify that with an official RedHat sales representative or a TAM. Please note that this response is based on my personal knowledge only and should not considered an an official response from Red Hat in any way. > p/s: If you’re wondering why I’m not getting the customer to migrate CentOS to RHEL > just so that it’s a supported configuration? well, for some reason he just wants to > continue using CentOS, which I’m guessing could be caused by $$$ as they have heaps > of CentOS in their environment. I'm no expert on this, but I think I recall that licensing RHEL instances on RHV is way cheaper then licensing them on VMware or any other virtualization infrastructure, maybe you should look into this. </sales pitch ;> If he still prefers to stay on CentOS, perhaps he can be convinced to use oVirt so he can still jump-ship from VMware. -- Barak Korren RHV DevOps team , RHCE, RHCi Red Hat EMEA redhat.com | TRIED.
