Re: [DISCUSS] Cloudstack network-element plugin(ver 4.2) to

Hi Chiradeep,
is there a way for existing customers of Cloudstack(say running 4.2) to try out our plugin?
like say deploying a war file in Tomcat container etc

Hi Pradeep,
Take a look at this: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/6x-VAQ
Feature freeze for 4.4 is targeted for end of February. So, now would be

See https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/0h-VAQ for how to go about this.
