New Features
OpenStack Object Storage (Swift)
- Large objects (greater than 5 GB) can now be downloaded using OpenStack Object Storage. While there is still a limit on the size of a single uploaded object, with this release the download size of a single object is virtually unlimited with the concept of segmentation. Refer to Managing Large Objects for more information.
- An experimental S3 compatibility middleware has been added to OpenStack Object Storage. This middleware intercepts S3 style requests and authorization, and transforms them into swift requests.
- Initial i18n support for logging messages.
- Swauth is a swift compatible authentication and authorization service implemented on top of swift as wsgi middleware. This will replace the dev_auth service in a future release.
OpenStack Compute (Nova)
- Microsoft Hyper-V support. Refer to HypervInstall for information.
- IPv6 support. Refer to BexarIpv6supportReadme for information.
- Support for raw disk images, without the complexity of a separate ramdisk or kernel image.
OpenStack Image Registry and Delivery service (Glance)
- Store and retrieve virtual machine images and metadata about these virtual machine images with a service for OpenStack Compute to use.
OpenStack Dashboard
