Dear OpenNebula users, The OpenNebula project is proud to announce the availability [1] of the beta release of OpenNebula 3.6 (Lagoon).
This new release features the following (for more details, please refer to the Release Notes [2] or the feature set page [3]): * New *hotplugging* mechanism for disk volumes that supports attaching either volatile volumes or existing images to a running VM. * Quota and Accounting tools re-written from scratch , so now they are included in the OpenNebula core to enhance their integration with the existing AuthZ & AuthN mechanisms and other related tools (e.g. Sunstone). * Some new features like VM rescheduling, hard reboots, or cloning of disk images. * Apart from the core, Lagoon comes with improvements in other systems, especially in Sunstone’s interface with the redesign of several tabs as well as in the OpenNebula Zones where we got rid of the datamapper dependency to ease the packaging of OpenNebula. There is also an important milestone reached in this release, with OpenNebula 3.6 fully integrated with the new OpenNebula Marketplace [4]. Any user of an OpenNebula cloud can very easily find and deploy virtual appliances through familiar tools like the SunStone GUI or the OpenNebula CLI. The OpenNebula Marketplace is also of the interest of any software developer to quickly distribute a new appliance, making it available to all OpenNebula deployments worldwide. With this beta release, OpenNebula Lagoon enters feature freeze and we’ll concentrate on fixing bugs and smoothing some rough edges. This release is aimed at testers and developers to try the new features. Please refer to the documentation [5] for more information. The Lagoon Nebula (also known as M8, or NGC 6523) is a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius. You can now get a lake of data with the new hotplugging capability ;) We are looking forward to your feedback, crucial in order to improve OpenNebula and tailor it for its users needs.
