- From this point forward any new database schema upgrades will not require restarting Cinder services right away. The services are now independent of schema upgrades. This is part one to Cinder supporting rolling upgrades!
- Ability to add/remove volumes from an existing consistency group. Read docs for more info.
- Ability to create a consistency group from an existing consistency group snapshot. Read docs for more info.
- Create more fine tuned filters/weighers to set how the scheduler will choose a volume backend. Read the docs for more info.
- Encrypted volumes can now be backed up using the Cinder backup service. Read the docs for more info.
- Ability to create private volume types. This is perfect when you want to make volume types available to only a specific tenant or to test it before making available to your cloud. To do so use the cinder type-create <name> --is-public.
- Oversubscription with thin provision is configurable. Read docs for more info.
- Ability to add descriptions to volume types. To do so use cinder type-create <name> <description>
- Cinder now can return multiple iSCSI paths information so that the connector can attach volumes even when the primary path is down (when connector's multipath feature is enabled or not enabled).
