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.

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

92-

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
