RHEA-2015:0148 - Product Enhancement Advisory

Topic

Updated OpenStack Networking packages that resolve various issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 6.0 (Juno).

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

OpenStack Networking (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.)

Documentation for enhancements and fixes included in these packages
is available in the Technical Notes document:
