Description Sandro Bonazzola 2021-10-21 11:56:32 UTC

RHGS is reaching EOL in 2024 while RHV is going EOL in 2026.
We need to announce GlusterFS Deprecation in next RHV release as initial step toward GlusterFS storage end of support.

Is this relevant to oVirt? Do we plan to deprecate Gluster usage in oVirt?

The Gluster upstream website doesn't mention any intention to stop the development so I think oVirt is not affected by RHGS EOL.
