[one-users] OpenNebula Integrates with Azure to Build Hybrid Clouds

[Tino Vazquez]

Dear OpenNebula users,

Today we are sharing exciting news about the expansion of the number
of public clouds supported by OpenNebula to build hybrid cloud
deployments.

As a result of the collaboration between OpenNebula and Microsoft, a
new set of plug-ins to support Microsoft Azure has been included in
OpenNebula. This partnership has been announced today by Microsoft
Open Technologies at the O’Reilly Open Source Convention (OSCON) [1].

The Beta version of  OpenNebula 4.8 [2] bringing the new drivers was
released yesterday and is available for testing.

So far the only public cloud officially supported by OpenNebula to
build hybrid cloud deployments was Amazon AWS. Supporting multiple
public cloud providers opens the possibility of defining
pre-determined schedule or performance-based policies for the
execution of applications in different clouds, that can be fine tuned
to achieve an optimal placement in terms of performance and cost. This
new support also enables the ability to meet services constraints
regarding special functionality offered by a subset of the supported
public cloud providers, like for instance high availability.

As always, we value your feedback and contributions to this new feature!
