Roadmap

Nimbus 2.6 - October 2010

Fast propagation

2.6 will be the first release of Lantorrent, a tool used by Nimbus for quickly propagating VM images to many nodes. For details, check out the Lantorrent README: http://github.com/nimbusproject/nimbus/blob/master/lantorrent/README.txt

Dynamic VMM node management

Manage the pool of available VMM nodes while the service is running, with no restarts required.

Context broker REST interface

The context broker sports a new client-side HTTP interface in addition to WSRF. Users authenticate with the same tokens they use for cumulus and the Elastic Query API.

Easy upgrade tool

Upgrading existing Nimbus service installations gets easier

Assorted bugfixes and small features
