Questions: automatic drive share,google cloud intergeration, admin rights and load balancing

[ahmedgc01]

Hi Everyone,

can we automatically share drive for clients. ? Secondly, can clients personalize their setting .? can we integerate kvm-vdi with google cloud ? can administrator access VDI machines? where virtual snapshots are stored . ? Is snapshot created after client's logout ? How we use let's say three servers for load balancing in KVM-VDI project. Thanks.

• Drive sharing is out of scope of this project - you should decide processes, how and what to share (CIFS/NFS/Cloud storage) and implement that in your golden images (Initial machines). Clients will get those shares when they launch their VDI instances.
• This is also out of scope of this project. You should decide, how to configure personalization on your side (e.g. windows domain/active directory if using Windows).
• No, it is just for using KVM hypervisors. Openstack integration is coming also.
• There are multiple types of snapshots used in KVM-VDI. VM snapshots are stored in: https://github.com/Seitanas/kvm-vdi/blob/31dafea7a7e22bacf93c78f7380b334415a2a4ed/functions/config.php_kvm#L94 unless configured differently, when creating Initial machine/VDI machine. VDI machines also store temporary snapshots. These are deleted as soon as VDI machine is powered off and are defined in: https://github.com/Seitanas/kvm-vdi/blob/a6a40b6df72cf9bf3a0d60769a0cea6cd9beed1e/KVM/hypervisors/config#L6
• Load balancing is done in RoundRobin style. When you add new hypervisor, it will be used in KVM-VDI to balance load of the first hypervisor.

Thanks very much for the clarity.
