RHEA-2014:0848 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

OpenStack Networking service packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack
Platform 5.0 (Icehouse) for RHEL 7 are now available.

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 Networking service ("Neutron").
• OpenStack Networking client ("python-neutronclient").

OpenStack Networking (code name Neutron) is a virtual network service for
OpenStack. Just as OpenStack Compute (Nova) provides an API to dynamically
request and configure virtual servers, OpenStack Networking provides an API to
dynamically request and configure virtual networks. These networks connect
'interfaces' from other OpenStack services (e.g. virtual NICs from Compute VMs).
The OpenStack Networking API supports extensions to provide advanced network
capabilities (e.g. QoS, ACLs, network monitoring, etc.)

These packages also fix various bugs found in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
OpenStack Platform 4 release. Documentation for these bug fixes is available in
the Technical Notes document:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_OpenStack_Platform/5/html/Technical_Notes/index.html
