Re: VCL status

[Emir Imamagic]

Dear Josh, there is a ticket related to OpenStack: ASF JIRA issues.apache.org  and there is some code and config options in the latest release. For us OpenStack is a requirement as we do not have VMware infrastructure. We could contribute in testing config and code :) We will investigate Rocky, Ubuntu and Windows 10. Any info on Debian support?

I'm not aware of anyone actively doing development to maintain support for OpenStack.  If anyone is working on this, please correct me! I know Ubuntu 22.04 and 20.04 work fine as long as you switch from netplan back to the old method of using /etc/network/interfaces [1].  I imagine 22.10 would also work.  We do plan on supporting netplan in the next release. I'm pretty sure Rocky and AlmaLinux 8 and 9 both work without changes.  If you try them and have trouble, post on this list and we'll help get them working.   We'll definitely ensure they are supported in the next release.  We're also planning on making sure vcld runs correctly on AlmaLinux to use as a base distro for management nodes. Windows 10 has been supported for a long time.  I think Windows 11 works with just a few tweaks.  Again, we plan to ensure both 10 and 11 are supported in the next release. I'm not sure when to say the next release will be out, but it will definitely take at least a few months.

The last release was back in 2019 - 2.5.1. The roadmap page https://vcl.apache.org/dev/roadmap.html still indicates that versions 2.6 and 2.7 are planned. However, I see very little commits in github https://github.com/apache/vcl/commits/develop. As we are planning to migrate our VCL instance to new infrastructure we are primary interested in the following topics: - is OpenStack officially supported (especially OpenStack version Antelope) - does VCL support latest versions of popular OSes such as:  - Debian 10, 11 and 12  - Ubuntu 22.10, 22.04, 20.04  - Rocky 8 and 9  - MS Windows 10 and 11 Thanks in advance - -- - ------------------------------- Josh Thompson VCL Developer North Carolina State University my GPG/PGP key can be found at pgp.mit.edu All electronic mail messages in connection with State business which are sent to or received by this account are subject to the NC Public Records Law and may be disclosed to third parties. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iF0EARECAB0WIQRMIdRtWXideTZDK31X8tBw1209AwUCZV0JYgAKCRBX8tBw1209 A03dAJ4mMawV0zZz345AK+7GPLsanMwEVACfZ7/APMCSm9s1FPLkDqeCtBFmaxQ= =Lnh+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
