Important notes before you try it

Please note this is a pre-release build.

The oVirt Project makes no guarantees as to its suitability or usefulness.

This pre-release must not be used in production.

Some of the features included in oVirt 4.4.1 Release Candidate require
content that will be available in CentOS Linux 8.2 but can’t be tested on
RHEL 8.2 beta yet due to some incompatibility in openvswitch package
shipped in CentOS Virt SIG which requires to rebuild openvswitch on top of
CentOS 8.2.
