- <title>Submitting Feedback and Getting Help</title>
- <para>The Apache CloudStack project has mailing lists for users and developers. These are the
- official channels of communication for the project and are the best way to get answers about
- using and contributing to CloudStack. It's a good idea to subscribe to the cloudstack-users
- mailing list if you've deployed or are deploying CloudStack into production, and even for test
- deployments.</para>
- <para>The CloudStack developer's mailing list (cloudstack-dev) is for discussions about
- CloudStack development, and is the best list for discussing possible bugs in CloudStack.
- Anyone contributing to CloudStack should be on this mailing list.</para>
- <para>You can also report bugs in CloudStack using the <ulink
- url="https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/CreateIssue!default.jspa">Apache Defect Tracking
- System</ulink></para>
- <para>To posts to the lists, you'll need to be subscribed. See the <ulink

- <para>Starting in 3.0.2, the usage record format for IP addresses is the same as the rest
- of the usage types. Instead of a single record with the assignment and release dates,
- separate records are generated per aggregation period with start and end dates. After
- upgrading, any existing IP address usage records in the old format will no longer be
- available.</para>

- <para>Apache CloudStack 4.0.0-incubating includes the following new features:</para>
- <section id="inter-vlan-routing">
- <title>Inter-VLAN Routing</title>
- <para>Inter-VLAN Routing is the capability to route network traffic between VLANs. This
- feature enables you to set up Virtual Private Clouds (VPC) that can hold multi-tier
- applications. These tiers are deployed on different VLANs that can communicate with each
- other. You can provision VLANs to the tiers your create, and VMs can be deployed on
- different tiers, such as Web, Application, or Database. The VLANs are connected to a
- virtual router, which facilitates communication between the VMs. In effect, you can
- segment VMs by means of VLANs into different networks that can host multi-tier
- applications. Such segmentation by means of VLANs logically separate application VMs for
- higher security and lower broadcasts, while remaining physically connected to the same
- device.</para>
- <para>This feature is supported on XenServer and VMware hypervisors.</para>
- </section>
- <section id="site-to-site-vpn">
- <title>Site-to-Site VPN</title>
- <para>A Site-to-Site VPN connection helps you establish a secure connection from an
- enterprise datacenter to the cloud infrastructure. This allows users to access the guest
- VMs by establishing a VPN connection to the virtual router of the account from a device in
- the datacenter of the enterprise. Having this facility eliminates the need to establish
- VPN connections to individual VMs.</para>
- <para>The supported endpoints on the remote datacenters are:</para>

- </itemizedlist>
- </section>
- <section id="local-storage-support">
- <title>Local Storage Support for Data Volumes</title>
- <para>You can now create data volumes on local storage. The data volume is placed on the
- same XenServer host as the VM instance that is attached to the data volume. These local
- data volumes can be attached to virtual machines, detached, re-attached, and deleted just
- as with the other types of data volume. In earlier releases of CloudStack, only the root
- disk could be placed in local storage.</para>
- <para>Local storage is ideal for scenarios where persistence of data volumes and HA is not
- required. Some of the benefits include reduced disk I/O latency and cost reduction from
- using inexpensive local disks.</para>
- <para>In order for local volumes to be used, the feature must be enabled for the
- zone.</para>
- <para>You can create a data disk offering for local storage. When a user creates a new VM,
- they can select this disk offering in order to cause the data disk volume to be placed in
- local storage.</para>
- <para>You can not migrate a VM that has a volume in local storage to a different host, nor
- migrate the volume itself away to a different host. If you want to put a host into
- maintenance mode, you must first stop any VMs with local data volumes on that host.</para>
- <para>Local storage support for volumes is available for XenServer, KVM, and VMware
- hypervisors.</para>
- </section>
- <section id="tags">
- <title>Tags</title>
- <para>A tag is a key-value pair that stores metadata about a resource in the cloud. Tags are
- useful for categorizing resources. For example, you can tag a user VM with a value that
- indicates the user's city of residence. In this case, the key would be "city" and the
- value might be "Toronto" or "Tokyo." You can then request CloudStack to find all resources
- that have a given tag; for example, VMs for users in a given city.</para>
- <para>You can tag a user virtual machine, volume, snapshot, guest network, template, ISO,
- firewall rule, port forwarding rule, public IP address, security group, load balancer
- rule, project, VPC, network ACL, or static route. You can not tag a remote access
- VPN.</para>
- <para>You can work with tags through the UI or through the new API commands createTags,
- deleteTags, and listTags. You can define multiple tags for each resource. There is no
- limit on the number of tags you can define. Each tag can be up to 255 characters long.
- Users can define tags on the resources they own, and administrators can define tags on any
- resources in the cloud.</para>
- <para>A new optional input parameter, "tags," has been added to many of the list* API
- commands. The following example shows how to use this new parameter to find all the
- volumes having tag region=canada OR tag city=Toronto:</para>

- as the recovery destination for all HA-enabled VMs make it easier to determine which VMs
- are restarted as part of the high-availability function. You can designate a host as a

- <title>Support for Amazon Web Services API</title>
- <para>This release supports Amazon Web Services APIs, including Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
- API. Fidelity with the EC2 API and the installation experience for this functionality are
- both enhanced. In prior releases, users were required to install a separate component
- called CloudBridge, in addition to installing the Management Server. For new installations
- of CloudStack 4.0.0-incubating, this software is installed automatically along with
- CloudStack and runs in a more closely integrated fashion. The feature is disabled by
- default, but can be easily enabled by setting the appropriate global configuration
- parameter and performing a few setup steps.</para>

- <title>The Nicira NVP Plugin</title>
- <para>The Nicira NVP plug-in allows CloudStack to use the Nicira solution for virtualized
- network as a provider for CloudStack networks and services. In CloudStack 4.0.0-incubating
- this plug-in supports the Connectivity service. This service is responsible for creating
- Layer 2 networks supporting the networks created by guests. When a tenant creates a new
- network, instead of a traditional VLAN, a logical network will be created by sending the
- appropriate calls to the Nicira NVP Controller. The plug-in has been tested with Nicira
- NVP versions 2.1.0, 2.2.0 and 2.2.1.</para>

- system for a CloudStack S3 front-end. The CAStor back-end storage for CloudStack extends
- the existing storage classes and allows the storage configuration attribute to point to a
- CAStor cluster. This feature makes use of the CloudStack server's local disk to spool
- files before writing them to CAStor when handling the PUT operations. However, a file must
- be successfully written into the CAStor cluster prior to the return of a success code to
- the S3 client to ensure that the transaction outcome is correctly reported.</para>

- <para>The CLVM support for KVM allows root and data disks (primary storage) to reside on
- Linux logical volumes. The administrators are required to configure CLVM on the KVM hosts
- independent of CloudStack. When the volume groups are available, an administrator can
- simply add primary storage of type CLVM, providing the volume group name. Then CloudStack
- creates and manages logical volumes as needed.</para>
- <para>CLVM also supports Snapshots. CloudStack creates an LVM snapshot, copy the applicable
- logical volume to the secondary storage in the qcow2 format, and then delete the LVM
- snapshot. </para>

- RBD, ensure that Qemu is compiled with RBD enabled, and the libvirt version is at least
