Dear IT administrators, The CloudPlatform 4.2.1 maintenance release includes bug fixes and several feature enhancements.
If unfamiliar, Connectikpeople.co recalls that, Citrix CloudPlatform,
powered by Apache CloudStack, is a unified cloud management platform that aims
to combine the best cloud foundation for private enterprise workloads with the
Amazon-style scale, elasticity and operational efficiency of cloud workloads.
Among the bug fixes and feature enhancements, Connectikpeople.co has captured:
- CloudPlatform now includes Citrix XenServer 64-bit system virtual machine templates.
- VM snapshots are now supported on both VMware vSphere and XenServer hosts. Previously, they were only supported on VMware vSphere.
- Several modifications have been made to improve the user experience when working with Cisco UCS blades and the Cisco UCS Manager.
- CloudPlatform 4.2.1 supports both multi-part and single-part upload for registering templates, uploading volumes and backing up snapshots to object storage in secondary storage.
- CloudPlatform Management Server is now certified on CentOS 6.4.
- IP addresses can now be acquired and LB rules can be created without enabling the SourceNAT service in a network.
