The hypervisor-vmware-vsphere-support blueprint merged yesterday, so Nova can now use VMware's hypervisors on the compute nodes. This brings the OpenStack compute options to seven: vSphere, XenServer/Xen Cloud Platform, Xen, Hyper-V, KVM, QEMU, and UML. LXC isn't far behind, which will make eight.
I don't normally go all Oscar Ceremony over a branch merge, but this was 5000 lines of code and over 3 months of effort, so I thought that a few thank-yous were in order: · Neeraj Koul, Rochanglien Infimate and Sateesh Chodapuneedi for the code itself and for the automated QA systems. · Ravi Gururaj and Milind Barve for project requirements, management and sponsorship. · Armando Migliaccio and Salvatore Orlando for extensive peer review before we brought the branch to the community. · Jay Pipes, Rick Harris and Rick Clark for the multiple review phases after that. · Anne Gentle for assistance with documentation. · Søren Hansen for updating the Hudson environment at short notice to get the merge completed. · Thierry Carrez for release management and keeping us on track. Thanks everyone, Ewan.
