Upcoming XCP-ng 8.3 release

[ydirson]

We're going to release XCP-ng 8.3 in the upcoming months. Is there anything particular we can do to ensure it will work properly with Cloudstack ?

[sbrueseke]

Are there any api changes? As far as I understand version 8.3 should work as long as the used api calls are still working.

[ydirson]

No API breakage, only introduction of new APIs for new functionalities (e.g. vTPM)

[shwstppr]

We may need to add some changes for hypervisor support, similar to #4672 (maybe part of it).
But this will be done after release in my opinion.

not sure how their xoa lite will affect it, as its on and installed by default on 8.3, anyway willing to test

[ydirson]

xo-lite should not have any impact, it's just another client of the same API

[outbackdingo]

good to know, be interesting to see 8.3 and CS working

Good to hear! It's been a while since xcp-ng had a release. If it is backward compatible wrt API, usage and guest OS then adding support would be a straightforward entry in the hypervisor support related db tables.

[DaanHoogland]

if this is really all #10470 should fix this.

Hello,

After publishing a new RC, we're currently planning to make the final release for September 30th.

[ydirson]

The 8.3 release is now out (official announcement will follow in a few hours).

[outbackdingo]

the bigger question is, when will cloudstack support it
