F39/40 Work Project: Fedora Server in a virtualized runtime environment

[Peter Boy]

Folks,

On our May 03 meeting we decided:

"WG will pursue ... for F39 ... 'Fedora Server Edition in virtualized
environments' with 2nd priority."

I wrote a proposal of a project description: 

------
So far, both documentation as well as installation media are very much focused on running
a Fedora server on hardware or as a virtualized guest of a Fedora host on hardware. In
both cases, the system administrator has the most extensive configuration options.
 
In view of the enormous increases in hardware performance, an individual server project is
often no longer able to exploit this performance. A market has developed where
professionalized service providers offer a virtualized runtime environment for individual
servers, known as "virtual private server" (VPS) or "virtual dedicated
server" (VDS). In this case, the setup options of an administrator are significantly
more limited. For example, the installation must follow the provider's specifications
and organizational requirements. 

The =goal= is 
(a) to facilitate and simplify the operation of a Fedora server in such a runtime
environment by providing special documentation and 
(b) also provide customized installation media, if useful.

Discussion of our first priority project via hacked.io is not so successful, so far. Maybe
it’s easier using the Mailing List. 


As a =next step= I suggest to post on the user mailing list and on discussion and ask for
experiences running Fedora Server in a (commercial) VPS / VDS. 



It would be really helpful if we could reach agreement on the project plan as well as the
next step in the next few days. The dead line for a change proposal (if we want to offer a
customized installation medium) is July 18, 2023. That's still a little way off, but
not too long either.
