The following capabilities are available to users of the MCP-based OpenStack clouds:
Upload and manage virtual machine disk images to object storage using the OpenStack Image (Glance) API.
Assign storage, network, and other infrastructural resources to the virtual machines upfront and at the runtime using the OpenStack Networking (Neutron) API.
Boot and run virtual machines on a KVM hypervisor under the OpenStack management from the uploaded images, or from block storage through the OpenStack Compute (Nova) API.
Migrate virtual machines between hypervisors and their groups, with or without interruption of the workload running on the virtual machine, depending on availability of a shared storage for disk images. This ability is provided by the Compute API.
Connect remote or local block storage resources to the virtual machines using the OpenStack Block Storage (Cinder) API.
Configure virtual load balancers through the OpenStack Load Balancing-as-a-Service (Octavia) API.
Configure DNS names for their virtual server instances through the DNS-as-a-Service (Designate) API.
Access all API endpoints of the OpenStack cloud over connections secured by SSL/TLS protocols.
