Technology
This month, we’re excited to introduce significant technology developments. These include incremental Ceph backups in the upcoming OpenNebula 6.10.1, allowing you to back up VMs by storing only changes between backups for improved efficiency. We’re also adding Virtual Router Support in OneFlow to simplify network management with new features, along with Transparent Proxies to streamline OneGate traffic over backbone networks, eliminate complex setups, and enable easy customization.
📡 MESSAGE FROM THE ENGINEERING DECK
Both the development and engineering teams are right on track working in the development of the next generation of OpenNebula, which will have the 7.0 version attached. Focusing on User Experience, a new version of the OneProvision tool (which will change its name to OneForm), AI Operations, … and many other stuff, this will be the most disruptive release of OpenNebula to date.Innovation
