Not long ago, the 18th version of OpenStack, Rocky, which attracted much attention from the industry, was officially released. Apart from knowing that the new version enhances artificial intelligence, machine learning, NFV and edge computing capabilities, I believe many people do not know more details about Rocky. The following information is sorted out according to all official documents of OpenStack Rocky.

1,Ironic

Rocky is an integrated version of OpenStack and the latest technology. Rocky configures services through "Ironic" bare metal, not virtual machines. After a period of effort, Rocky has brought a lot of new features. One is the Ramdisk deployment interface. With Ramdisk, cloud users will have more powerful computing power, and enterprises can instantly start large-scale temporary workloads. The other is BIOS setting management. This feature is very useful for practitioners, who do not have to run the operating system, through BIOS settings, can achieve network function virtualization, SR-IOV and DPDK changes. Most importantly, Rocky can restore server functionality in the event of a power failure.

2 、 TripleO

Rocky has upgraded TripleO, which will support more advanced network expansion, whether operators or specific operation and maintenance personnel, can configure their services according to their needs, and can support users to update and upgrade resources. Among them, the fast forward upgrade service, called FFU, was introduced by the openstack TripleO project as a beta version in Queens. As long as you are using the NMel 3 release version, you can quickly skip the intermediate version and upgrade directly to the latest version.

3 、 Airship

Rocky also has a feature called Airship, a loosely coupled, interoperable open source tool that provides automated cloud configuration services and full lifecycle management. The launch of this function has attracted a lot of attention.

4 、 Kata Containers

The main goal of the Kata Containers project is to combine the security isolation advantages of virtualization with the fast startup characteristics of containers. Rocky has also improved this project. Typical applications of containers are operating systems and virtual technologies that provide multiple isolated Linux environments on Linux hosts, but also limit the utilization of CPU and memory. Kata Containers provides a more powerful isolation capability, including not only software isolation, but also hardware isolation. This isolation mode is faster and lighter.

5 、 StarlingX

StarlingX is both an open source project and an integration project that integrates new services into the edge cloud software stack along with many other open source projects. The project is jointly launched by Intel and VMware and donated to the OpenStack Foundation. Designed to support the most demanding applications in edge, industrial Internet of things, and telecommunications use cases.

6 、 Zuul

Zuul is a micro-service gateway component that acts as the front door for all requests on the back end of the Web website for devices and Netflix streaming applications. Zuul can route requests to multiple Amazon Auto Scaling Groups appropriately.

Zuul contains four major components: zuul-core, zuul-simple-webapp, zuul-netflix and zuul-netflix-webapp, which can support GitHub. Enhancements to Rocky's new features support code-level modifications, as well as improvements to web dashboards.

Of course, there are many new features about OpenStack Rocky that are much more than that. We will continue to pay attention to the future development of OpenStack Rocky!
