| What's New in |version| |
| ======================= |
| |
| Version |release| includes more than 240 bug fixes from previous release, the |
| following new features and improvements. |
| |
| |
| Redundant Routers for VPC |
| ------------------------- |
| |
| Create VPC using an High Available pair of Virtual Routers in active-pasive mode. |
| The main goal behind its implementation is to increase critical application's |
| uptime, offering a better Disaster Recovery strategy by quickly switching |
| network traffic to a backup virtual router, hence increasing business continuity. |
| |
| ====================== ============================================================================ |
| Supported hypervisors: Any |
| Link `Redundant VR spec`_ |
| ====================== ============================================================================ |
| |
| |
| UI: SSH keys and User-Data |
| -------------------------- |
| |
| It is now possible to import, delete and get instances inventory for SSH keys |
| from the webui at the account level. Instance can now be created with ssh key |
| and user-data defined from the webui wizard. |
| |
| ====================== ============================================================================ |
| Supported hypervisors: N/A |
| Link `CLOUDSTACK-7882`_ |
| ====================== ============================================================================ |
| |
| |
| |
| Send statistics collected by StatsCollector to Graphite |
| ------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Send StatsCollector from the management server to a Graphite server in addition |
| to the usage database. This allows ease of graphing for CPU, Network and |
| Disk I/O for instances and hosts. |
| |
| ====================== ============================================================================ |
| Supported hypervisors: Any |
| Link `CLOUDSTACK-7583`_ |
| ====================== ============================================================================ |
| |
| |
| Browser-based Template/Volume upload |
| ------------------------------------ |
| |
| This feature enables the users to directly upload template or volume to |
| Cloudstack and eliminates the dependency on an external http server. This is a |
| complementary functionality and users can continue to register template/volume |
| with URL. |
| |
| ====================== ============================================================================ |
| Supported hypervisors: N/A |
| Link `Browser Upload spec`_ |
| ====================== ============================================================================ |
| |
| |
| Run CloudStack inside Docker |
| ---------------------------- |
| |
| Provide Docker images collection of Apache CloudStack modules thru automated |
| build on docker hub. These containers are usable for Continous Integration |
| tests, demo, rapid deployment of CloudStack for test purposes. |
| |
| ====================== ============================================================================ |
| Supported hypervisors: N/A |
| Link https://hub.docker.com/u/cloudstack/ |
| ====================== ============================================================================ |
| |
| |
| Deprecation of awsapi |
| --------------------- |
| |
| The module awsapi has been removed from the source code and replaced by ec2stack |
| (https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-ec2stack). Removal of awsapi change the |
| upgrade process to 4.6 from previous release as the RPM cloudstack-awsapi must |
| be removed. This deprecation removed close to 1 million lines of code from the |
| source base. |
