“This frees up precious resources on the user’s virtual machines and saves the user from having to worry about configuring SSL in his environment.”Ī Netscaler is a Citrix Application Delivery Controller (ADC). “With this feature, the SSL connection and all the encryption/decryption is handled by, for example, a Netscaler,” Trippaers explained. “This means that instead of having to maintain lists of fixed compute offerings catering to all, a number of dynamic offerings can be made available, and the user has the freedom to set, for example, the number of CPUs,” Trippaers said.Īpache CloudStack 4.3 also includes a new Secure Sockets Layer ( SSL) termination that enables off-loading of SSL traffic to load balancers.
With the new Dynamic Compute offering, there is a more flexible compute capability that can be filled on demand by the tenant. With previous CloudStack releases, the configuration in a compute offering was fixed for example, two cores and 4G bit of memory. “The Dynamic Compute offering provides for flexibility to tenants when creating instances,” Trippaers said. Trippaers explained that the new Dynamic Compute offering is unrelated to the autoscaling features that Cloudstack has been supporting since version 4.2. “It also shows the possibilities of working with other languages in the CloudStack project.”Īlhough the CloudStack project is currently predominantly Java code, there is always the opportunity to select the best tool for the job, he said.Īnother key feature of the CloudStack 4.3 release is known as Dynamic Compute. “As part of the Hyper-V support, we are releasing a version of the CloudStack Agent written in C#, meaning native support written in a language that suits the platform best,” Trippaers said. Hugo Trippaers, vice president of Apache CloudStack, told eWEEK that discussions regarding supporting Hyper-V started back in 2012. The original technology behind CloudStack came to Citrix by way of the acquisition of in 2011.ĬloudStack 4.3 offers support for Microsoft’s Hyper-V virtualization hypervisor.
CloudStack is an open-source effort that Citrix donated to Apache in April 2012. The CloudStack 4.3 release is the first major update to CloudStack since the 4.2 release debuted in October. The Apache Software Foundation today announced the release of CloudStack 4.3, providing new features to users of the open-source cloud platform.
