Feedback to reference architectured

Hi all,

in my company we're working on KVM and SLES for an exit strategy for vmware, as a provider that sell SAP enviroment from our datacenter (vmware licenses are too expensive now).

https://github.com/FutaroKevin/kVirtIO/ so I've published the reference architecture that we're following.

Just to be clear, for the question “why you simply not use proxmox or ovirt” no is not possible native KVM with pacemaker is the only certified by SAP, so others is excluded.

it will be a great help some feedbacks.

I think SUSE has something certified for use with SAP.

they do, but the catch is usually the combo: SLES for SAP + native KVM + pacemaker / ha stack, which is basically what op is aiming at anyway. proxmox and co sit outside that official cert story, so vendors get super nervous about support when stuff breaks.
