General Release Information

Release Date: June 13th, 2013

Release Time: Close of business (Pacific Standard Time)

Contact Information:

Terminology:

  • Alpha - Feature that has undergone simple testing and is expected to change, possibly significantly, before going into "beta" or "general release." Recommended for early access to new features and prototyping of new deployments/architectures. Only eligible for limited technical support. Service-level response times are not applicable to Alpha components.
  • Beta - Feature that has undergone significant testing and is not expected to significantly change before "general release." Recommended for non-production deployments.
  • General release - Feature that has undergone testing and field experience or is a minor upgrade from prior releases. Recommended for production upgrade after testing. Also known as general availability (GA).

 

 

- Disclaimer -

recently_intro_icon.gifThe following new ServerTemplates have been added to the RightScale MultiCloud Marketplace. Be sure to read the documentation, follow best practice principles, and thoroughly test any new functionality before making any changes to your production deployment. 

New Features

Note: This release is part of the infinity lineage.

HP ROS Support 

HP ROS is supported starting with the v13.4 ServerTemplate release.

Google Volume Support

Volume support for Google has been added to the v13.4 ServerTemplates. You can now create, attach, snapshot, detach, and destroy volumes on any instance types in Google.

Rackspace Private Cloud Support

The latest version of Rackspace private cloud is supported with the release of the v13.4 ServerTemplates.

Support for Rackspace Managed Open Cloud

Support for Rackspace Managed Open Cloud has been added to the v13.4 ServerTemplate release. For launching a server in the Rackspace Managed Open Cloud, the following advanced inputs should be set in the "rightscale" cookbook.

  • The username for Rackspace account
  • The password for Rackspace account
  • The account ID for Rackspace account

Note: These inputs are only required for the Rackspace Managed Open cloud.

If any of these inputs are not set, the server will strand with an error saying these inputs should be set in order to launch servers on the Rackspace Managed Open cloud. All of the setup of Rackspace agents are performed in the rightscale::setup_cloud recipe. This recipe will be skipped on other clouds.

Rackspace Private version 3 support

The v13.4 ServerTemplates will now support the "version 3" of Rackspace Private Cloud. 

Linux Security Updates

Linux security has been updated on all ServerTemplates by adding the following two scripts:

  • rightscale::.setup_security_update_monitoring (boot)
  • rightscale::do_security_updates (boot and operational) 

To enable security updates, set the Enable security updates input to 'enable'. if this input is set to 'enable', security repositories are unfrozen and security updates are applied. If not, the security recipes skip their actions. If enabled, security updates are applied when a server launches . They can also be applied to a running server (see the RightScale cookbook README for more information).

 

Note: Once security updates are enabled they can not be disabled.

Windows Updates

The windows ServerTemplates contain the following general updates for the v13.4 release:

  • Added support for OpenStack Folsom cloud
  • Added support for Rackspace private cloud 
  • Added support for Windows Server 2012 for CloudStack clouds (full support for VMware and XenServer hypervisors, base and IIS STs for KVM)

See the individual ServerTemplate sections below for feature and application version information.

Database Manager for Microsoft SQL Server (v13.4)

This ServerTemplate is on the Infinity Lineage. For the latest LTS version, see the 12-LTS Release
For a description of the Infinity and LTS lineages, see ServerTemplate Release Methodology

This ServerTemplate configures a Microsoft SQL Server stand-alone database server or pair of servers in a high-availability (HA) configuration (synchronous mirroring). The template supports graceful (no data loss) and forceful (possible data loss) manual failover, with the latter to be used for disaster-recovery situations. This can also be used with our SQL Server Witness template to provide automatic failover. Also included are built-in monitoring and alerts on CPU, memory, and disk.

Key Features:

  • MS Best Practices for disk and database configuration.
  • Cloud-agnostic data storage on dynamic volumes or equivalent.
  • Striped data and log volumes (on supported clouds).
  • Automatically scheduled backups with data consistency.
  • Backup and restore to/from remote storage to enable data migration between clouds.
  • OpenStack Storage (Swift) for Remote Storage.

Application versions:

  • .Net 3.5SP1
  • .Net 4.0
  • .Net 4.5

Microsoft SQL Server Witness Beta (v13.4)

This ServerTemplate configures a Microsoft SQL Server Express database server that may be used to add a mirroring witness to a MS SQL Server mirroring pair. The witness is an optional instance of SQL Server that enables the mirror server in a high-safety mode session to recognize whether to initiate an automatic failover. Unlike the two partners, the witness does not serve the database; supporting automatic failover is the only role of the witness.

More information about using mirroring witness can be found at Microsoft Technet

Key Features:

  • SQL Server Express (no license required)
  • Performs automatic failover of a mirrored pair of SQL Server DBs
  • Does NOT store database content locally.

Application versions:

  • .Net 3.5SP1
  • .Net 4.0
  • .Net 4.5
  • SQL Server 2008R2
  • SQL Server 2012

Known Limitations

Stop/start on a server

After a stop/start on a server, the block_device::do_force_reset recipe cannot be used. 

Azure Ubuntu Image

The db::do_primary_restore rescipe (on Database Manager ServerTemplates) and the block_device::do_primary_restore recipe (for Storage Toolbox) with the Azure Ubuntu image hangs when performing LVM commands. During this time, the CPU becomes busy and makes it impossible to terminate the process that runs the LVS commands.

Ubuntu 12.04 Images

If the hostname of an Ubuntu 12.04 server is 38 characters or longer, servers will strand because of an NTP setup error when using ServerTemplates between v13.1 and v13.4.

Google Cloud Storage API v2 support

Currently, our ServerTemplates do not support Google Cloud Storage v2 API. For more information, see Why do scripts and recipes fail with a missing project ID error?
