Fuel 3.1 with Integrated graphical and command line controls
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
In earlier releases, Fuel was distributed as two packages – “Fuel Web” for
|
||
graphical workflow, and “Fuel library” for command-line based manipulation.
|
||
Starting with this 3.1 release, we’ve integrated these two capabilities into a
|
||
single offering, referred to simply as Fuel. If you used Fuel Web, you’ll see
|
||
that capability along with its latest improvements to that capability in the the
|
||
Fuel User Interface (UI), providing a streamlined, graphical console that enables
|
||
a point-and-click experience for the most commonly deployed configurations.
|
||
Advanced users with more complex environmental needs can still get command-line
|
||
access to the underlying deployment engine (aka “Fuel Library”).
|
||
|
||
Option to deploy Red Hat Enterprise Linux® OpenStack® Platform
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
Mirantis Fuel now includes the ability to deploy the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
|
||
OpenStack Platform (a solution that includes both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and
|
||
the Red Hat OpenStack distribution). During the definition of a new environment,
|
||
the user will be presented with the option of either installing the Mirantis
|
||
provided OpenStack distribution onto CentOS powered nodes or installing the Red
|
||
Hat provided OpenStack distribution onto Red Hat Enterprise Linux powered nodes.
|
||
|
||
.. note:: A Red Hat subscription is required to download and deploy Red Hat
|
||
Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform.
|
||
|
||
Mirantis OpenStack Health Check
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
New in this release is the Mirantis OpenStack Health Check which can be accessed
|
||
through a tab in the Fuel UI. The OpenStack HealthCheck is a battery of tests
|
||
that can be run against an OpenStack deployment to ensure that it is installed
|
||
properly and operating correctly. The suite of tests exercise not only the core
|
||
components within OpenStack, but also the added packages included in the Mirantis
|
||
OpenStack distribution. Tests can be run individually or in groups. A full list
|
||
of available tests can be found in the documentation.
|
||
|
||
Ability to deploy properly in networks that are not utilizing VLAN tagging
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
In some environments, it may not be possible or desired to utilize VLANs to
|
||
segregate network traffic. In these networks, Fuel can now be configured through
|
||
the Fuel UI to disable the need for VLAN tagging. This configuration option is
|
||
available through the Network Settings tab.
|
||
|
||
Integrated ability to connect to remote nodes via SSH
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
The ability to connect to a remote node via SSH is now available from the machine
|
||
details screen. SSH key management is automatically handled by Fuel, so the user
|
||
need only click on she SSH Console button to connect.
|
||
|
||
Improved High Availability resiliency
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
To improve the resiliency of the Mirantis OpenStack High Availability reference
|
||
architecture, Fuel now deploys all HA services under Pacemaker, a scalable
|
||
cluster resource manager developed by Clusterlabs. Additional options in the
|
||
Fuel Library have also been added to Corosync to enable more granular tuning.
