[caasp-beta] [ANNOUNCE] SUSE CaaS Platform 4.0 Beta 5 is out!

[SUSE Beta Program]

We are happy to announce the Beta 5 of SUSE CaaS Platform 4.0.

Notable changes in Beta 5

- This beta is being published as an update on top of Beta 4. New packages
versions have been provided in the Update repository as a proof of
concept for the whole maintenance process. Please note that updating
requires a manual step[1] that you need to perform. Please also check
out our documentation for updating to Beta 5 from previous
versions[2]
- The most notable feature we are releasing in this sprint is the Cloud
Provider Interface for OpenStack, which supports the use of
OpenStack services from the underlying cloud. See our
documentation[3] for deployment instructions
- Beta 4 introduced Role Based Access Control provided by Dex[4] and
Gangway[5] tools. In Beta5, we are introducing a Directory Server
Container based on 389-ds
(https://directory.fedoraproject.org/), an LDAP implementation
that replaces OpenLDAP, for those who don't have their own server.
Also, we are including instructions on how to set it up alternatively
with Active Directory. See the Administration guide[6] for more
information
- Also relevant is the fact that we tested with a cluster of 250 nodes and
our results were successful. We have not reached the limit with this,
so further testing will be done by adding more nodes.
- SUSE CaaS Platform clusters are passing Sonobuoy conformance
tests[7].

For more details, see the Release Notes[8].

If you find issues, kindly report them to the SUSE Bugzilla[9].
