63 | | -.. important:: |
64 | | - This version of CloudStack allows control over the visibility of the DNS services provided |
65 | | - by the Virtual Router in Shared networks. By default CloudStack allows DNS queries via the |
66 | | - Guest interface from any IP address. This allows for the DNS resolution of guest VMs on the |
67 | | - Shared network by services outside of the shared network. While this can be useful, it can |
68 | | - also be an issue on Shared Networks which are using Internet routable/public (i.e. non-RFC1918) |
69 | | - IP addresses, as the DNS service is then queriable from the public internet at large. A new |
70 | | - global setting "expose.dns.externally" has been added (with a default value of "true" in |
71 | | - order to keep backward compatibility) which controls whether the source of DNS queries |
72 | | - should be limited to only hosts on the Shared Network guest subnet or not. If you wish |
73 | | - to disable 'outside' access to the DNS services running on Virtual Routers; set the value |
74 | | - to "false" and recreate the related Virtual Routers. |
75 | | - |
76 | | -Apache CloudStack powers numerous elastic Cloud computing services, including solutions that have |
77 | | -ranked as Gartner Magic Quadrant leaders. Highlighted in the Forrester Q4 2017 Enterprise Open Source |
78 | | -Cloud Adoption report, Apache CloudStack "sits beneath hundreds of service provider clouds", including |
79 | | -Fortune 5 multinational corporations. A list of known Apache CloudStack users are available |
80 | | -at http://cloudstack.apache.org/users.html |
81 | | - |
82 | | -Libvirt Python Dependency on KVM and CentOS |
83 | | -=========================================== |
84 | | - |
85 | | -For CentOS users using the security groups feature on KVM it is needed to install the epel-release and python36-libvirt packages. |
86 | | - |
87 | | -Workaround for adding newer KVM hosts |
88 | | -===================================== |
89 | | - |
90 | | -Newer GNU/Linux distributions with latest OpenSSH package disables some older |
91 | | -SSH algorithms and ciphers and newer algorithms are not supported by trilead-ssh |
92 | | -library used by CloudStack to SSH into KVM hosts during the host-add operation. |
93 | | -Until the dependency library can support that users can use the following |
94 | | -workaround in their KVM host's /etc/ssh/sshd_config and restart ssh server |
95 | | -before adding the KVM host in CloudStack: |
96 | | - |
97 | | - PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-dss |
98 | | - |
99 | | - HostKeyAlgorithms=+ssh-dss |
100 | | - |
101 | | - KexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 |

103 | | -New UI GA and Legacy UI Deprecation and Removal Notice |
104 | | -======================================================= |
105 | | - |
106 | | -Cloudstack 4.15 ships with the GA release of a new and modern User Interface as |
107 | | -the default UI which deprecates the current legacy UI. With version 4.15, the |
108 | | -existing legacy UI (deprecated) along with the new UI are the supported UI for |
109 | | -production environments. |
| 42 | +https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.16.0.0/releasenotes/changes.html |
110 | 43 |
|
111 | | -The default URL <host>:8080/client will serve the new UI and |
112 | | -<host>:8080/client/legacy will serve the deprecated legacy UI. |
| 44 | +Legacy UI Removal Notice |
| 45 | +======================== |
113 | 46 |
|
114 | | -In the next release (4.16), the Apache Cloudstack community will remove the legacy |
115 | | -UI. Users are encouraged to implement a migration path towards deprecating the |
116 | | -legacy UI in their production environments. |
| 47 | +The legacy UI was deprecated with Apache CloudStack 4.15 release and |
| 48 | +with 4.16 release the legacy UI has been removed. Users are encouraged to |
| 49 | +implement a migration path in their production environments. |
