|
|
|
* The `Compute API <https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/compute/>`_ and
|
|
`DNS API <https://docs.openstack.org/api-ref/dns/>`__ sites offer great
|
|
examples of the new API reference, maintained by the project team rather
|
|
than a central docs team.

|
|
to include specific API Guides information.

|
|
|
|
* Completely restructured the guide.
|
|
|
|
* Reorganized and rewrote the deployment examples using "building blocks" to
|
|

|
|

|
|
Infrastructure Manual respectively.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
* New section on rate-limiting and API endpoint traffic.
|

Training guides
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* Improved and restructured `Upstream Training <https://docs.openstack.org/upstream-training/>`_
|
|
* Added new chapters in the draft Training Guides
|
|
|
|
Training labs
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* Training labs landing page is published under `docs.openstack.org <https://docs.openstack.org/training_labs/>`_:
|
|
|
|
* Users can download zip/tar files for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms
|
|
for supported releases.
|
|
|
|
* PXE feature for training-labs:
|
|
|
|
* PXE booting functionality is available as a pluggable driver in parallel
|
|
with KVM/VirtualBox.
|
|
* PXE boot could also be used as a mechanism for provisioning KVM/VirtualBox
|
|
based workloads.
|
|
|
|
* Stability improvements:
|
|
|
|
* Various stability improvements have been added in this release.
|
|
* Windows platform support has been updated and improved.
|
|
* Training cluster should additionally have higher deployment rate.
|
|
* Improvements in networking related challenges.
|
|
|
|
* Performance improvements:
|
|
|
|
* Cluster setup speed is improving after addition of multiple features.
|
|
* KVM/Libvirt backends now use shared storage. Hard disks for the cluster
|
|
are diffs on top of the base disk. This uses less storage space.
|
|
* Block storage (cinder) has a dedicated disk as opposed to being file
|
|
mounted as a loop device. This should improve performance and provide
|
|
persistence for cinder-volumes across reboots.
|
|
* Performance improvements by fixing race conditions occurring due
|
|
to virtualization overhead.
|
|
* Improvements to the library scripts.
|
|
|
|
* Test coverage:
|
|
|
|
* Added more tests to ``repeat_test`` scripts.
|
|
* User interface test cases to check the availability of horizon have
|
|
been implemented.
|
|
|
|
* Updates for supporting new operating systems. For example, Ubuntu 16.04.
|
|
* Adds support for x86/i386 architecture.
|
|
* Updates to the CLI along with many improvements to address new features.
|
|
* Newton support:
|
|
|
|
* Newton support should be available shortly after the OpenStack release.
|
|
* This delay is intentional, to let the distribution packages stabilize,
|
|
and to ensure all test cases and reliability checks meet certain criteria.
|
|
|
|
User guides
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
* Added Redis replication information and Rootwrap Daemon configuration
|
|
information to the Administrator Guide.
|
|
|
|
* Reorganized the Administrator Guide Telemetry chapter to improve
|
|
information architecture.
|
|
|
|
* Migrated content on configuring and customizing the Dashboard, previously
|
|
maintained in the Configuration Reference, to the Dashboard chapter
|
|
of the Administrator Guide.
