[ANNOUNCE][ACS44] Apache CloudStack 4.4.0 is released
Apache CloudStack is open source software designed to deploy and manage large networks of virtual machines, as a highly available, highly scalable Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud computing platform. CloudStack is used by a number of service providers to offer public cloud services, and by many companies to provide an on-premises (private) cloud offering, or as part of a hybrid cloud solution.
Version 4.4.0 contains
* 135 bugfixes
* 12 New Features
* 9 Improvements
Root disk resize
Allow Root disk resize which remove need to have multiple templates of the same Operating System for different disk size.
Root disks on Managed storage
Use of Primary Storage Plug-in for Root disks. The storage Plug-in module was previously available only for Data disk. The Storage Plug-in allow Creation of LUN per Virtual Disk at the Storage device which can benefit from the Storage Appliance features such as deduplication, thin provisioning or better usage reporting.
VMWare Support for DRS
VMware DRS(Distributed Resource Scheduler), VM HA(High Availability): Provide highly available resources to your workloads. Balance workloads for optimal performance. Scale and manage computing resources without service disruption.
Hyper-V support improvements
New features have been added to use Microsoft Windows Hyper-V as managed hypervisor in CloudStack.
* Storage Live-Migration support
* Zone-wide primary storage
* VPC support
Virtual Router Service Failure Alerting
Use the monitoring VR services introduced in CloudStack 4.3 to notify admins about virtual-router failures.
