I'm not aware of current plans. We can consider this when ovirt-4.0
feature request season opens.

Until then, can you share your own use case for runnig LXC?

I'd love to see a vdsm hook that translates the qemu-kvm domxml into an
lxc one, as a first step. Anyone?

Dan.

It seems like Proxmox have quite the install base especially due to the
ability to mix containers and "fat" VMs. AFAIK that's the only feature they
have that is ahead of oVirt. And that install base should tell us this is
indeed a feature needed and widely used.

That can be a fun project to do, but I'm not volunteering just yet ;)

One use case that recently came up in discussion is in a build farm.
Lightweight containers with the possibility to use AUFS and RAM disks make
for fast, isolated compiles, and they also seem great for automated
testing. Having all of that managed with the same as more long-lived,
traditional VMs is appealing. (Whether doing that in the same cluster as
those longer-lived VMs is wise is a much more context-specific question.)

I can see similar arguments for lots other typical network services where a
fully virtualized VM is unnecessary overhead (there's no need for full
isolation or different OSes), but the logical isolation is valuable.

A couple of related questions:
*) what can we expect from the deprecation of libvirt LXC driver in RHEL? 
(CentOS would follow suit, barring an extraordinary effort from the 
Virtualization SIG, akin to the Xen-on-CentOS one)
*) dreaming of a future convergence of oVirt-node and Atomic would be... well, 
just dreaming? ;)

[ovirt-users] about LXC and ovirt

[Nathanaël Blanchet]

Hi all,

now rhel7 is out, it will become a part of the ovirt project in a near 
future. Given taht official LXC support aims to complete the KVM 
virtualization part, is LXC planned to  be supported for linux VM by 
ovirt, like openvz is with proxmox?
