The OpenStack 2025.1 Epoxy (Nova 31.0.0) release includes many new features
|
||
and bug fixes. Please be sure to read the upgrade section which describes
|
||
the required actions to upgrade your cloud from 30.0.0 (2024.2) to 31.0.0
|
||
(2025.1).
|
||
As a reminder, OpenStack 2025.1 is a `Skip-Level-Upgrade Release`__
|
||
(starting from now, we name it a `SLURP release`) meaning that you can
|
||
do rolling-upgrades from 2024.1 Caracal directly by skipping to upgrade to
|
||
2024.2 Dalmatian release.

|
||
|
||
There are a few major changes worth mentioning. This is not an exhaustive
|
||
list:
|
||
|
||
- The latest Compute API microversion supported for 2024.2 is `v2.100`__.
|
||
|
||
.. __: https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/reference/api-microversion-history.html#maximum-in-2025-1-epoxy
|
||
|
||
- New kernel vfio-PCI variant drivers like nvidia GRID on Ubuntu 24.04 are
|
||
now supported by our PCI passthrough feature. You can create instances
|
||
using those specific PCI devices but also live migrate them.
|
||
|
||
- Manila shares can now be directly attached to instances by a new Nova
|
||
shares API.
|
||
|
||
- A new ImagePropertiesWeigher is able to spread or pack instances using the
|
||
same image properties.
|
||
|
||
- The nova-scheduler service now does leader election in an attempt to have
|
||
only one run host discovery periodically (if configured) instead of all
|
||
of them running it all the time in parallel.
|
||
|
||
- Image properties and scheduler hints are now returned as part of the
|
||
instance show API response.
|
||
|
||
- Nova added support for the IGB VIF model.
|
||
|
||
- Unified limits are no longer experimental since we added a nova-manage tool
|
||
for migrating existing quota limits to Keystone automatically and given
|
||
we added new configuration options for telling which resource classes
|
||
are either required or ignored.
|
||
|
||
- Nova now supports a new console type called `spice-direct` if you define
|
||
a specific SPICE protocol native proxy URL (eg. a kerbside URL). Direct
|
||
SPICE VDI consoles enable a much richer virtual desktop experience.
