Fuel plugins features¶

Consumption of Fuel plugins from a public YUM repository¶

Extended the Fuel plugins distribution model by installing and updating plugins from YUM repositories.

The advantages of such approach are as follows:

• Installation of a plugin on the Fuel Master node using the yum install <PLUGIN_NAME> command.
• Updating a plugin on the Fuel Master node using the yum update <PLUGIN_NAME> command.
• Ability to pre-populate a plugin YUM repository into Fuel Master node settings based on the Fuel Master node version.

See Install a Fuel plugin

Deployment of plugins updates on a running environment¶

Implemented a mechanism enabling plugins to bring their own scenarios that can prepare a deployed OpenStack environment for plugins updates.

See Update a Fuel plugin

Definition of Fuel release through the plugin framework¶

Introduced a capability to express a Fuel release as a Fuel plugin. The new functionality enables the user to define, maintain, and deploy various flavors of customized OpenStack deployments. For example, the user can deploy OpenStack Kilo using Fuel Mitaka or deploy a standalone Ceph environment specifying a particular Ceph-only release.
