Hi guys,
I'm going to be evaluating CentOS/EL 7 as a Hypervisor. The
primary points of concern are the move from init to systemd and
dropping iptables(the command) for firewalld, however a cursory look
indicates that there might be sufficient compatibility layers/wrappers
built-in. It may just work out of the box (does anyone have
experience with this already?), but we will probably want to put a
plan together for announcing official support. We will also eventually
want to switch to systemd (mostly a packaging issue), and make the
necessary changes to the security groups portions to be more firewalld
friendly, assuming the iptables command will be deprecated (not sure
if it is). I'm not sure what Ubuntu is doing lately, but we may have
to support both. There's probably no rush though since the iptables
command will definitely continue until at least CentOS 8.
