OpenNebula 7.2 “Dark Horse”
Built for secure, high-performance, multi-tenant infrastructure across hybrid and distributed deployments
AI-Ready, Sovereign Infrastructure Without Complexity
While OpenNebula 7.0 focused on enabling the transition from legacy virtualization platforms, OpenNebula 7.2 advances cloud management and virtualization for production environments. This release strengthens security, scalability, and performance to meet the operational demands of sovereign clouds and AI-driven infrastructures.
Modern organizations require infrastructure that delivers predictable performance, secure multi-tenancy, and deep hardware integration. OpenNebula 7.2 introduces GPU-aware orchestration, hardened access controls, and automated operations designed to support AI workloads and regulated cloud environments with confidence.
