Questions about the roadmap: as of today, the roadmap is:

  • distributed storage system, Ceph’s RADOS Block Device (RBD) (work in progress)
  • Better resource monitoring
  • enhanced IO limits for VM´s
  • spice protocol (remote display system for virtualized desktops)

i've looked at ceph's rados page and (i don't get now really all the concepts but) looks really interesting: do you plan to get all the features in next pve versions or ust a subset, and which?

about better resource monitoring: what are you looking for? i played a bit some time ago with guestfish in fedora and looked great, interesting! it has the ability even to see windows registry inside vms, from outside, and all the filesystem... is that you are looking for or what else?

and what about the spice protocol? did you move it at the end of the roadmap's list for a reason? troubles, difficult integration, etc? i was looking for that for better desktop vms.

Thanks! Marco

basically, you will have the possibility to store your KVM virutal disks on a ceph storage cluster.

this is quite huge topic and we also plan to use a guest agent.

there is no real order in the list but we still miss the authentication for the spice protocol. also the spice client side is not that great yet.

yes, and all the snapshotting, read only images, etc, i've read on their website, do you plan to use/offer those features too? that could be also interesting in a desktop vm usage scenario, probably... anyway it's just to know what to read in order to get a bit deep in those other projects you are planning to integrate in future pve versions.

more detailed info about your plans would be great in that respect... there's alot of (to me ) new tech to know/understand, it could limit a bit the docs range to read , at least... :)

Thanks, Marco
 
yes, we plan to add most useful features, step by step and if possible.

but as its not done yet no-one can tell you all details and and when it will be stable.
