The cloud management platform OpenStack has had a makeover through a new graphical interface and unified authentication management system.
The goals behind this update have been to make OpenStack easier to use and administer and to scale for large multi thousand server clouds.
Overall, this release, named Diablo, will include over 70 new features and enhancements.
The software has a new distributed scheduler for deploying virtual machines anywhere in the system, even if nodes are scattered about in different data centers around the globe. A new multicluster container sync feature can be used to replicate data across different remote clusters.
The new graphical user interface allows administrators to provision resources through a portal interface.
The unified identity management system, called OpenStack Keystone, ties together the different authentication systems previously deployed for individual components. It can integrate with external directory systems, such as Microsoft Active Directory or other authentication systems based on LDAP.
