Migrating to OpenNebula 3.8.3

OpenNebula 3.8.3 is API compatible with OpenNebula 3.x, so you should expect that applications and drivers developed for 3.x work with this release.

Also there have been minor changes in the OpenNebula DB schema to accommodate the quota & accounting data. These changes are automatically managed by the migration process, but if you have developed any customization you may need to update it.

A detailed upgrade process can be found in the documentation.

For a complete set of changes to migrate from a 3.x installation please refer to the Compatibility Guide. You should also read this document if you are an OpenNebula 3.x user.
