RHBA-2014:1135 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Orchestration which resolve various issues are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 5.0 (Icehouse) for RHEL 7.

Description

Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform provides the facilities for
building a private or public infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) cloud
running on commonly available physical hardware. This advisory includes
packages for:

• OpenStack Orchestration service ("Heat").

OpenStack Orchestration (heat) is a template-driven engine used to specify
and deploy configurations for Compute, Storage, and OpenStack Networking.
It can also be used to automate post-deployment actions, which in turn
allows automated provisioning of infrastructure, services, and
applications. Orchestration can also be integrated with Telemetry alarms to
implement auto-scaling for certain infrastructure resources.

With this release, openstack-heat is now rebased to upstream version
2014.1.2, and includes a number of notable enhancements and fixes:

• Compatibility with the latest Compute (nova) API.
• Stack updates are no longer triggered by unused metadata.
• Previously, when using provider resources/templates, resources defined in the

resource_registry of an environment file were not discovered. This update
resolves the issue.

• Parameters are now able to have both a custom constraint and a default value.

(BZ#1127429)

• Previously, the openstack-heat-common package was missing a few dependencies

for services that Orchestration supports, including the Telemetry, Trove, and
Image services.
Now, the openstack-heat-common package has been updated to include these missing
dependencies. (BZ#1108056)
