So it's safe to say there'll be another draft for you to look at soon. In the meantime, I attempted a re-draft. (Easier than picking things out with comments.) [ANNOUNCE] Apache CloudStack 4.0.0-Incubating Released The Apache CloudStack (Incubating) project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the CloudStack 4.0.0-incubating release. Download your copy here: http://incubator.apache.org/cloudstack/downloads.html CloudStack is an integrated orchestration platform for building a feature-complete IaaS. CloudStack includes the compute, networking, accounting, storage, and user interface components to needed for private, hybrid, or public clouds. This is the first release from the Apache Incubator, and represents the culmination of more than six months work by the CloudStack community. The release includes more than a dozen new features, many bugfixes, security fixes. ##New Features: * Inter-VLAN Routing (VPC) * Site-to-Site VPN * Local Storage Support for Data Volumes * Virtual Resource Tagging * Secure Console Access on XenServer * Added the ability to create a VM without immediately starting it (via API) * Upload an Existing Volume to a Virtual Machine * Dedicated High-Availability Hosts * Support for Amazon Web Services API (formerly a separate package) * AWS API Extensions to include Tagging * Support for Nicira NVP (L2) * Ceph RBD Support for KVM * Support for Caringo as Secondary Storage * KVM Hypervisor support upgraded to work with Ubuntu 12.04 and RHEL 6.3 ##Incubating Apache CloudStack is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF. -- NS
