Weekly status: 20–27 September 2026 🌟
CloudStack continues to make strong infrastructure progress this week, with a significant storage and migration capability merged into main.
Highlights
- VMware-to-KVM migration expanded: commit 0a5bf30a landed on 24 September, covering cold (VDDK) and warm (CBT) migration into Ceph/RBD and Linstor.
- Import workflow improved:
importVm now adopts existing RBD root volumes and Linstor root/data volumes, reducing friction for migrations and existing-storage adoption.
- Repository health: the local
main checkout is clean and aligned with origin/main.
Progress toward project goals
This work advances CloudStack’s interoperability and migration goals while broadening practical options for operators moving workloads from VMware to open storage backends. It also strengthens the path for incremental modernization without requiring every workload to be rebuilt from scratch.
Recommendations and next steps
- Exercise the cold and warm migration paths across representative Ceph/RBD and Linstor topologies, including failure and rollback scenarios.
- Refresh migration and
importVm documentation with prerequisites, supported combinations, and operator examples.
- Track early adopter feedback and prioritize follow-up fixes for edge cases in volume adoption, networking, and post-migration validation.
- Keep review and integration momentum high on related storage, hypervisor, and upgrade work.
