[one-users] Closing OpenNebula 4.4 Cycle, Planning for 4.6

[Kenneth]

I agree with RBD format 2. 

And thanks a lot to the OpenNebula team
for bringing the cloud infrastructure closer to end system
administrators. 

I would specifically like to request to have the
option of over-committing memory (ram) to VMs just like how you can set
over commit in CPU.

Thanks,

Dear users, Having released OpenNebula 4.4 Retina and closed its release
cycle, it is time to open a new one for the next release. We have
identified the issues [1] (bugs + features) we deem important for the
release, and we have including in that list the features that didn't
make it in OpenNebula 4.4 in the end. As discussed with the OpenNebula
Conf attendees (see? you need to come next year ;) ), we want to give
our users the chance to shape the roadmap for the upcoming OpenNebula
4.6. We invite you to submit your comments on the roadmap via email
(ideally within this thread, but feel free to open a new one if you
think it is necessary to discuss any particular topic). This valuable
input will be used to shape the short-term roadmap with the features
that will be part of the release cycle. The ideal process of the
discussion would be for any person interested in discussing a feature
request to search first if there is already a similar one in the
OpenNebula development portal [2]. If no similar request is found,
please open one describing as best as you can what feature you have in
mind, and let us know in this mailing list so we know there is interest
and we need to shape the roadmap to accommodate it. If you find a
similar request, read through the proposed approach and let us know if
you agree on it. If not, please put a comment in the feature request
explaining your concern, and let us know as well here. We plan to close
this discussion next Thursday, 16th, EOB. It goes without saying that
the more interest we see on a feature, more priority it will have in the
short-term roadmap. Tino, on behalf of the OpenNebula Team [1]
