[one-users] OpenNebula 4.2 Flame Beta (4.1.80) is Out!

[Tino Vazquez]

Dear Community,

This is the official announcement of OpenNebula 4.2 Flame Beta
(4.1.80).  After the ground shaking release that was OpenNebula 4.0
Eagle, now its time to stabilise features in this next release,
OpenNebula 4.2 Flame. The principal aim of this release is to
strengthen the most demanded and useful features, reducing the
complexity in order to better support the most used ones.

This release includes an important subset of the features originally
planned for 4.2, all the missing features have been automatically
rescheduled to 4.4. Our goal with this release is to reduce your
waiting time to test some exciting new features that are currently
ready!

OpenNebula Flame includes a more polished Sunstone interface, after
its redesign in 4.0; with important usability enhancements. Datastore
capacity is now monitored and used to limit the amount of storage size
used by images. This is a first step to also control the runtime
storage used by the VMs. The VMware backend has been completely
redesigned with a more comprehensive storage scheme, more
functionality and less dependencies. Also we have upgraded the Xen
backend to support the new interfaces introduced in Xen 4.0. And last
but no least, OneFlow, the multi-tier application (a.k.a. service)
manager, it is included and fully integrated in the distribution. It
includes also important new features related to service management and
elasticity/auto-scaling.

We are now set to basically bug-fixing and feature-freeze. Note that
this is a beta release aimed at testers and developers to try the new
features, and send a more than welcomed feedback for the final
release.

As usual OpenNebula releases are named after a Nebula. The Flame
Nebula (catalogued as NGC 2024 and Sh2-277) is an emission nebula in
the constellation Orion. It is located about 900 to 1,500 light-years
away from Earth.

Let Flame guide you through the Clouds!

The OpenNebula Team
