Subject: Integrating oVirt and Gluster geo-replication to provide a DR
solution
To: devel <devel at ovirt.org>


Hi all,

Though there are many solutions that integrate with oVirt to provide
disaster recovery for the guest images, these solutions either rely on
backup agents running on guests or third party software and are complicated
to setup

Since oVirt already integrates with glusterfs, we can leverage gluster's
geo-replication feature to mirror contents to a remote/secondary site
periodically for disaster recovery, without the need for additional software

Please review the PR[1] for the feature page outlining the solution and
integration in oVirt.
Comments and feedback welcome.
