In the real world, OpenStack sees these features playing out in the following ways:
Application Driven Capabilities: OpenStack Orchestration is a template driven service for describing and automating the deployment of compute, storage and networking resources for an application. The new global clusters feature for Object Storage enables you to cut costs and improve performance by replicating and delivering data around the world, and the new QoS capability across Block Storage drivers allows you to guarantee performance requirements for an application. Docker support was also added to speed application deployment using virtualization containers.
Improved Operational Experience: The Dashboard user interface (UI) has also been improved. OpenStack Metering now provides managers with a single source of usage data across OpenStack services for activities like enterprise chargebacks and feeding systems monitoring tools.
More Enterprise Features: OpenStack
continues to mature and support enterprise driven features such as
end-to-end encryption across all Block Storage drivers, Secure Socket
Layer (SSL) support across all service application programming
interfaces (APIs), new virtual private network (VPN) and
Firewall-as-a-Service (FaaS) capabilities. All users will be happy to
see better support for rolling upgrades and boot from volume, which
provides the foundation for live migration. Last, but not least, popular
storage and networking providers continue to improve and write new
plug-ins for OpenStack, making it easier for enterprises to work with
their trusted vendors and take advantage of existing infrastructure.
