Migrate from VMWare to Cloudstack/KVM

[me...@swen.io]

Hi all,

 

at CCC 2023 there were several talks about migrating instances from VMWare
to CS/KVM using virt-v2v. Also Olivier Lambert from Vates did a talk on how
XOA is doing migrations.

As far as I remember XOA is able to perform a migration significant faster
as virt-v2v and there was a discussion to look into the open source code of
XOA to see if CS can implement this migration path.

 

I want kindly ask if there is some progress regarding this? I see this as a
key feature for CS in the future to get as much VMWare installations
migrated to CS/KVM. Sadly we do not have any development capacities, but we
can provide help and a budget to get started.

Would that help?

Hi Swen,

AFAIK nothing new on that front, but end of year is usually a bit slower 
time.
I expect this and other features will receive more attention in the new 
year.

Lucian
