We are excited to announce the release of new version of VOVA based on Havana stable and several additional improvements. Below are some of the highlights of the release
- Single Nova compute node can manage multiple clusters under single vCenter.
- VMDK driver for Cinder enables creation of volumes using vSphere datastores. This allows Openstack Cinder to present block storage from extensive range of storage solutions certified to work with vSphere
- Removed the additional VNC password for accessing instances from console in Horizon.
- First release of "vCenter Web Client Plugin for OpenStack". This plugin presents OpenStack inventory directly in the vCenter web client. Admins can view the OpenStack related properties of instances along with traditional vCenter details.
- Added support for vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS)
In addition to above there are significant stability improvements across all aspects of running OpenStack on VMware. Good starting place is the VOVA manual which also contains the link to download bits. We encourage you to try new VOVA and look forward to your feedback.
