Training labs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* Training labs landing page is published under `docs.openstack.org <http://docs.openstack.org/training_labs/>`_:
* Users can download zip/tar files for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X platforms
for supported releases.
* PXE feature for training-labs:
* PXE booting functionality is available as a pluggable driver in parallel with
KVM/VirtualBox.
* PXE boot could also be used as a mechanism for provisioning KVM/VirtualBox
based workloads.
* Stability improvements:
* Various stability improvements have been added in this release.
* Windows platform support has been updated and improved.
* Training cluster should additionally have higher deployment rate.
* Improvements in networking related challenges.
* Performance improvements:
* Cluster setup speed is improving after addition of multiple features.
* KVM/Libvirt backends now use shared storage. Hard disks for the cluster are
diffs on top of the base disk. This uses lesser storage space.
* Block storage (cinder) has a dedicated disk as opposed to file mounted as loop
device. This should improve performance and provide persistence for cinder-volumes
over reboots.
* Performance improvements by fixing race conditions occurring due
to virtualization overhead.
* Improvements to the library scripts.
* Test coverage:
* Added more tests to ``repeat_test`` scripts.
* User interface test cases to check the availability of horizon have
been implemented.
* Updates for supporting new operating systems. For example, Ubuntu 16.04.
* Adds support for x86/i386 architecture.
* Updates to the CLI along with many improvements to address new features.
* Newton support:
* Newton support should be available shortly after the OpenStack release.
* This delay is intentional, to let the distribution packages stabilize.
* To maintain certain quality, we wait till all of our test cases and
reliability checks are meeting certain criteria.
