Hi all, Thank you all for the engagement and participation.
The vote for CentOS 7 KVM binaries *passes* with 5 PMC + 1 non-PMC votes. +1 (PMC / binding) persons (Gabriel, Nicolas, Rohit, Sven, Wei) +1 (non binding) 1 person (Slavka) 0 none -1 none I'll open a PR on CloudStack Documentation repository[¹] adding a RECOMMENDATION section on CloudStack's Installation Guide > Host KVM Installation[²] guiding users to install the qemu-kvm-ev binaries, if they are using CentOS 7. The packages that we will guide users to install will be the latest provided by the official CentOS site[³] (the current latest version is '2.12.0-44.1.el7_8.1.x86_64'). *Note:* PRs addressing KVM changes still have to look at the stock qemu-kvm, as ACS will keep support of it.
