New Features

Fuel Mitaka is the release of new features and bug fixes for the leading purpose-built open source deployment and management tool for OpenStack.

Fuel Mitaka introduces a set of new features and enhancements. This section lists these improvements:

Plugin developers can now dynamically add configuration fields to their plugins. See blueprint.
Added ability to stop and restart environment deployment without resetting the deployment process. See the stop_deployment section in the Fuel User Guide. See blueprint.
Improved deployment orchestration to reduce deployment time and to minimize technical and architectural efforts through task-based deployment with Astute.
All Fuel tasks are now idempotent. This makes Fuel lifecycle-manageable. See blueprint.
Fuel can now deploy UCA packages. See blueprint.
Operators can now change deployment settings on the Settings tab of the Fuel web UI in the post-deployment stage. The new settings can then be redeployed for an existing environment. See blueprint.
Fuel API now allows to manually set Virtual IP address to any valid IP address. See blueprint.
The node roles panel on the Fuel web UI has been redesigned to accommodate for the standard screen estate. See blueprint.
Enabled separate node deployment and operating system provisioning on the Fuel web UI. See blueprint.
