Goal

As customers look to OpenShift Virtualization as an alternative to other virtualization platforms, they expect a clear definition of what guests can be run on OpenShift Virtualization.

The desire - and possibly expectation - of customers will be to run all of their workloads on OpenShift Virtualization.

We also need this internally in order to help Support to set the expectations right in cases and engineering in order to plain their work and prioritize bugs.

The outcome of this epic is a clear definition of support around VM workload at runtime.

Even it is not stated in the support statement, engineering should ensure that even 3rd party supported guests boots on CNV every major release.

In addition to the guests listed in https://issues.redhat.com/browse/VIRTSTRAT-89, there will be:

• Windows XP (32-bit)
• Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit) / (64-bit)
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (32-bit)
• Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (32-bit) / (64-bit)
• Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)
• Microsoft Windows Server 2012 (64-bit)
• Microsoft Windows Server 2016 (64-bit)
• RHEL/CentOS/Oracle 4/5 (64-bit)
• Debian GNU/Linux 8 (64-bit)

User Stories

• As a cluster admin, I like to know which level of support (e.g. known to boot or even certified) I can expect for all of my workloads on OpenShift Virtualization.
• As a support person, I like to know which  level of support Red Hat has to provide for a given workload, so that I can react in the expected way.

Non-Requirements

• A catalog, which can pick up findings from partners or customers.
• Information about migration.
• Information of the guest-agent and virtio drivers are known to work, and how to install them.
