Anyone have any instructions/docs?

Hopefully I will have sometime tomorrow.

What os (aka hypervisor) are we deploying on?

@FATeknollogee I just started my download. I doubt it'll be done today. Tho I do plan on writing up a procedure for importing the KVM version into XenServer7.1.

FATeknollogee

Or what is the "preferred" o/s to deploy on?

Hyper-V, ESX, or KVM all have native appliances. So one of those hypervisors.

We're talking KVM, which o/s "flavor" of KVM?

@Stuka says installation guides should be right on the page.

A vSphere guide is the only one I see on that page.

Uhm, KVM is a type-1 hypervisor. Pick any distribution you like, preferably one with KVM in the default repositories. Fedora Server or CentOS would be my first two choices.

Ubuntu also has it if you're not a CentOS / Fedora fan.

Ubuntu also has it if you're not a ~~CentOS / Fedora~~ stability fan.

Fixed that for you

Some of us don't have problems with Ubuntu.
