Hi Rohit, We've been using ev exclusively for a few years now. Our main reason was in order to support features we upstreamed around KVM iop limits a couple of years back. Short of one challenge that was addressed on the ACS side a while ago related to the patchviasocket integration, it has worked very well and has been very stable.

Are there any CloudStack users who want to share their experience with it who may be using it already? The installation steps don't require configuring any 3rd party repository manually and usually done with: yum install centos-release-qemu-ev yum install qemu-kvm-ev Additional references: https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-virt/2015-October/004717.html (what is qemu-kvm vs qemu-kvm-ev) https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Virtualization (the SIG that is behind the qemu-kvm-ev repository) Thanks and regards. rohit.ya...@shapeblue.com www.shapeblue.com<http://www.shapeblue.com> 3 London Bridge Street, 3rd floor, News Building, London SE1 9SGUK @shapeblue
