Compatibility Matrix
====================

Supported OS Versions for Management Server
-------------------------------------------

This section lists the operating systems that are supported for running
CloudStack Management Server. Note that specific versions of the
operating systems are tested, so compatibility with CentOS 6.3 may not
indicate compatibility with CentOS 6.2, 6.1 and so on.

-  RHEL versions 6.3, 6.5, 6.6 and 7.0
-  CentOS versions 6.6, 7.0
-  Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

CloudStack supports three hypervisor families, XenServer with XAPI, KVM,
and VMware with vSphere.

-  LXC Host Containers on RHEL 7
-  Windows Server 2012 R2 (with Hyper-V Role enabled)

   .. note:: It is now required to enable HA on the XenServer pool in order to recover from a pool-master failure. Please refer to the `XenServer documentation <http://docs.vmd.citrix.com/XenServer/6.5.0/1.0/en_gb/>`_.

-  VMware versions 5.0 Update 3a, 5.1 Update 2a, and 5.5 Update 2

      .. note:: Use libvirt version 0.9.10 for CentOS 6.3

   -  Fedora 17

best results, one of the following browsers recommended:

-  Firefox version 31 or later

-  Google Chrome version 36.0.1985
