RHEA-2014:0952 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

OpenStack Orchestration service packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack
Platform 5.0 (Icehouse) for RHEL 6 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 Orchestration service ("Heat").
• OpenStack Orchestration service client ("python-heatclient").

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 2014.1.1.
This rebase applies two critical updates:

• Deleting a stack containing a server finishes successfully.
• Tenant-specific provider template URLs are no longer shown globally in

resource-type listings.

These packages also fix other OpenStack Orchestration bugs found in the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 4 release.
