Dear Community, This is the official announcement of OpenNebula 4.0, codename Eagle, five years after our first public release. OpenNebula 4.0 is the result of the terrific feedback of the day-to-day operation of virtualized infrastructures by many of you, result of all your contributions, bug reports, patches, and translations, but one and foremost, OpenNebula 4.0 is the realization of a vision of simplicity, openness, code-correctness and a sysadmin-centric approach.
OpenNebula 4.0 includes new features in most of its subsystems. We are showing for the first time a completely redesigned Sunstone, with a fresh and modern look and an updated workflow for most of the dialogs. The also new Sunstone Views functionality allows to customize the GUI for each type of user or group, so the interface implements a different provisioning model for each role. A whole new set of operations for VMs like system and disk snapshoting, capacity re-sizing, programmable VM actions and IPv6 among others. There are some new drivers also, like Ceph; as well as improvements for VMware, KVM and Xen. The scheduler has received some attention from the OpenNebula team to easily define more placement policies...and much more. As usual OpenNebula releases are named after a Nebula. The Eagle Nebula (catalogued as Messier 16 or M16, and as NGC 6611, and also known as the Star Queen Nebula) is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens, discovered by Jean-Philippe de Cheseaux in 1745-46. It is located about 7,000 light-years away from Earth. And last, but not least, we want to give a huge THANKS to our community, without whom OpenNebula wouldn't be anywhere as near as good as it is today. So, let's fly over the clouds riding the Eagle ;) LINKS * Complete Release Notes: http://www.opennebula.org/software:rnotes:rn-rel4.0 * Download: http://downloads.opennebula.org/ * Documentation: http://opennebula.org/documentation:rel4.0 * Screencasts: http://opennebula.org/documentation:screencasts -- Join us at OpenNebulaConf2013 in Berlin, 24-26 September, 2013 -- Constantino Vázquez Blanco, PhD, MSc Project Engineer | OpenNebula - The Open-Source Solution for Data Center Virtualization Join us at OpenNebulaConf2013 in Berlin from the 24th to the 26th of September 2013! www.OpenNebula.org | @tinova79 | @OpenNebula _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.opennebula.org/listinfo.cgi/users-opennebula.org
