Hi all,
I have taken a look at OpenStack now and try to compare it to a solution
with Aeolus/oVirt.
I wonder which real benifit OpenStack has over Aoelus/oVirt.
Could one of you perhaps point out the limitations of the latter?
From my observations, the complete provisioning and image handling
process could be done very well with Aeolus.

I honestly haven't done a lot with OpenStack, and haven't done anything
with oVirt, so take this with a grain of salt. :)
Really, though, I'm not sure that it's an apples-to-apples comparison. I
tend to see OpenStack and oVirt as the same type of concept, with Aeolus
being a cloud-agnostic management layer that can work with oVirt _and_
OpenStack. Some have described us a "cloud broker."
After a few online articles trying to compare Aeolus and OpenStack, I
threw this wiki page together:
https://www.aeolusproject.org/redmine/projects/aeolus/wiki/Aeolus_vs_Open...
So, while Aeolus + oVirt is a totally valid combination, it's not like
it has to be that _versus_ OpenStack. You could just as easily set up
Aeolus to use OpenStack[1] and oVirt. And in doing so, you'd gain things
like the ability to define one image that could be pushed to both
providers, etc.
Is this helpful?

oVirt does not offer cloud provisioning technologies, so oVirt alone is
not the same as OpenStack. It is clear that Aeolus can manage hybrid
clouds and that this is the main intend of the project, but oVirt only
becomes a full cloud solution in combination with Aeolus.
That's why I am trying to compare OpenStack with the oVirt/Aeolus
combination. OpenStack also comes with a nice management interface to
handle cloud tasks and can also manage hybrid clouds. So if one is using
OpenStack only (even in combination with EC2 or other cloud providers),
there is no real need for Aeolus.
