Automate oVirt Disaster Recovery Solution With Ansible
FOSDEM 2018

Even the best system administrator cannot always avoid any and every disaster that may plague his data center, but he should have a contingency plan to recover from one - and an administrator that manages his virtual data centers with oVirt is of course no different. This session will showcase how Ansible can be used to leverage the new APIs introduced in oVirt 4.2 to create a fully-fledged DR strategy.

Even the best system administrator cannot always avoid any and every disaster that may plague his data center, but he should have a contingency plan to recover from one - and an administrator that manages his virtual data centers with oVirt is of course no different. This session will showcase how Ansible can be used to leverage the new APIs introduced in oVirt 4.2 to create a fully-fledged DR strategy.

Agenda:

  • Introduction to oVirt Storage Architecture
  • Why do we need Disaster Recovery?
  • How Disaster Recovery was supported before oVirt 4.2
  • Integrate Ansible with oVirt
  • User perspective: New added features
  • Putting all the pieces together: Disaster Recovery scenarios - theory and practice
  • Future ideas and roadmap

There is no need for special skills or knowledge, although familiarity with oVirt and/or with Ansible is a plus.
