Cloud Network

Supports HUAWEI iMaster NCE-Fabric V100R023 SDN Controller

ZStack Cloud 5.4.0 introduces the HUAWEI iMaster NCE-Fabric V100R023 SDN controller, featuring:
  • Automatic Configuration Deployment: When creating an L3 network, the SDN controller automatically delivers relevant network configurations, significantly improving network deployment efficiency.
  • SDN Tenant-Level Resource Isolation: Subnet resources are automatically allocated to the target SDN tenant, achieving resource isolation and preventing cross-tenant resource contention.

Automatically Filters Storage Network NICs When Creating L2 Networks

ZStack Cloud 5.4.0 now supports automatically filtering out physical NICs that are tagged only with the Storage Network when selecting a NIC during the L2 network creation. You can attach tags to NICs on the Physical Network page in advance to avoid potential issues that might arise from creating L2 networks based on these NICs.

Note: A NIC will not be filtered if it has network tags other than Storage Network.

Octopus Automated Troubleshooting Tool Now Comes with the ISO

ZStack Cloud 5.4.0 ISO includes the Octopus toolkit. The toolkit integrates an eBPF toolset, including bcc command, bpftrace, nettrace, bpftool, and ptables-trace. This toolkit enables real-time monitoring of network quality for management network, storage network, and so on. This empowers O&M personnels to efficiently diagnose network issues, facilitating rapid troubleshooting, problem identification, and resolution.

Platform O&M

VM Performance Analysis List Supports Displaying Platform and OS Information

Starting from ZStack Cloud 5.4.0, the VM performance analysis list supports displaying platform and OS information. You can use Custom Column Item to show these information columns in the UI and export reports including relative information.

Operational Management

Tenant Management Supports SAML SSO Server

Starting from ZStack Cloud 5.4.0, SSO server supports the SAML protocol. You can enable the Cloud platform (as a Service Provider, SP) to integrate with an Identity Providers (IdP). Users from the IdP can log in to the Cloud platform without a password after authentication and authorization. User information will be synchronized to the Cloud platform according to mapping rules.

Application Market DTS Database Migration Service Upgrades to v2.7.0

Starting from ZStack Cloud 5.4.0, the Application Market DTS database migration service version upgrades to 2.7.0.

Cryptography Security Compliance

Supports UKey Pluginization for Flexible Adaptation to Various UKey Models

In previous versions, ZStack Cloud already supported adding cryptographic resources via standardized plugins, enabling quick integration with various types of HSMs or cryptographic service platforms and enhancing flexibility and for cryptography security compliance.

ZStack Cloud 5.4.0 further enhances UKey plugin support. You can use standardized plugins to quickly adapt various UKey types for certificate login, further improving the flexibility and scalability of cryptography security compliance features.
