Ocata Series Release Notes

15.0.0

New Features

• LXC containers will now generate a fixed mac address on all network interfaces when the option lxc_container_fixed_mac is set to true. This feature was implemented to resolve issues with dynamic mac addresses in containers generally experienced at scale with network intensive services.

• When using a copy-on-write backing store, the lxc_container_base_name can now include a prefix defined by lxc_container_base_name_prefix.

Bug Fixes

• LXC containers will now have the ability to use a fixed mac address on all network interfaces when the option lxc_container_fixed_mac is set true. This change will assist in resolving a long standing issue where network intensive services, such as neutron and rabbitmq, can enter a confused state for long periods of time and require rolling restarts or internal system resets to recover.
