Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0 review.
Pending, to accommodate the New Year 2014,
Connectikpeople.co has decided to involve Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack
Platform 4.0 in our reviews series.
The Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0 is
overall available since December
19, 2013. Connectikpeople.co can observe that, bolstered
with Red Hat-hardened OpenStack Havana code, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5, and
the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor built on KVM, Red Hat
Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform aims to offer IT infrastructure teams,
cloud application developers, and experienced cloud builders a clear path to
the open hybrid cloud without compromising on availability, security, or
performance.
Connectikpeople.co has captured the following features and benefits of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0:
Connectikpeople.co has captured the following features and benefits of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0:
- Full support for Foreman: Foreman eases the deployment and expansion process through remote physical servers and a graphical user interface that provides a real-time global view of system resources.
- Full support for OpenStack Orchestration (Heat). OpenStack Heat provides a template-based orchestration engine to quickly provision a broad range of infrastructure resources, from new compute nodes and application virtual machines, to specifying disk volumes, networks, security groups, and more.
- Full support for OpenStack Networking (Neutron). Neutron (previously named Quantum) delivers “networking-as-a-service” (software-defined networking) between interface devices, such as virtual network interface cards (vNICs) that are utilized by other OpenStack infrastructure services.
- Full support for OpenStack Telemetry (Ceilometer). Ceilometer collects and stores OpenStack resource metering and usage data. It also provides data query services for use with the enterprise operational support systems (OSS) and billing support systems (BSS) that are commonly deployed by service providers.
- Integration with Red Hat CloudForms offers a unified management interface for Red Hat and non-Red Hat datacenter virtualization solutions, as well as Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform.
- Red Hat Storage Server provides OpenStack Object Storage (Swift), OpenStack Block Storage (Cinder) and OpenStack Image Service (Glance), offering a robust and scalable storage solution for use with Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform.
Important note:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0 also continues Red Hat's integration of its infrastructure product portfolio with OpenStack. Red Hat CloudForms 3.0, sold separately, can now manage and deploy workloads to Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform and provides management across OpenStack, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, VMware vSphere, and Amazon Web Services (AWS). Red Hat Storage Server, also sold separately, offers Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform an open, software-defined and distributed storage foundation that provides a massively scalable and highly available storage platform and native compatibility with OpenStack storage interfaces. Finally, all Red Hat Cloud Infrastructure customers can now use Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4.0 immediately as part of their product subscription.
