RHEA-2014:0851 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

OpenStack Image 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 Image Service ("Glance").
• OpenStack Image Service client ("python-glanceclient").

OpenStack Image service (Glance) provides discovery, registration, and delivery
services for disk and server images. It provides the ability to copy or snapshot
a server image, and immediately store it away. Stored images can be used as a
template to get new servers up and running quickly and more consistently than
installing a server operating system and individually configuring additional
services.

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:
