OpenNebula 5.10 Has Been Released

OpenNebula is a solution tool to build and manage cloud infrastructure. The OpenNebula developer team released the latest version OpenNebula 5.10 (Boomerang) on November 27.

OpenNebula is a platform for building and managing cloud-infrastructure, which is useful for building private clouds. It is equipped with features for building and managing virtual platforms on KVM, LXD and VMware.

OpenNebula 5.10, released in 2016, is the sixth point release of the OpenNebula 5 series. New improvements center around enhancing usability.

The features that manage NFV (Network Function Virtualization) and other work loads have been fortified, allowing OpenNebula to be used as an orchestrator in building clouds in environments where great importance is placed on the performance of edge and network.

As to networking, VMware NSX integration, which is the network virtualization technology on VMware infrastructure, has been added, allowing NSX network to be created and used within OpenNebula. Now it supports high-speed network with DPDK. They are ending support for managing bridges for KVM/LXD networking with brctl commands, but instead, they have replaced it with ip-route2 tools.

OpenNebula API Hooks Subsystem has been revamped, which enables hooks to be executed for any API calls. Now CPU pinning is supported in a NUMA environment, allowing NUMA nodes on a virtual machine to be defined.

With Sunstone management, now it supports two-factor authentication. You can use tokens generated by Google Authentication, Authy, Microsoft Authentication, or others.
