CloudStack 2.2 is Now Available

 This a huge leap forward for CloudStack with scads of new features and a noticeably improved user interface. CloudStack is available for immediate download from the open source cloud computing community. 

Here are some of the new features in CloudStack 2.2:
Increased Hypervisor Support: CloudStack 2.2 comes with out-of-the-box support for Citrix XenServer 5.6, Xen Cloud Platform (XCP) and the open source Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) running simultaneously in a single cloud. For Cloud.com customers you can also get support for VMware support.

Scalability:Recognizing that clouds go beyond a single data center, CloudStack 2.2 has the ability to manage multiple availability zones geographically dispersed from a single command and control console, allowing enterprises to expand globally while managing locally.  CloudZones enable the federation of managed or hosted availability zones within a CloudStack deployment.

Easy-to-Use: CloudStack's improved user interface is streamlined to make administration of thousands of guest VMs easier from an intuitive AJAX-enabled web interface.  Role-based delegation at multiple administrator levels enables self-service flexibility and agility while maintaining control over corporate policies and spending.

Amazon EC2 Support:CloudStack 2.2 introduces CloudBridge, which enables applications to interoperate with other cloud solutions including Amazon EC2 and S3 APIs as well as the upcoming OpenStack API. Tight integration with cloud management partners like RightScale helps customers manage multi-cloud, hybrid platforms that span from the private data center to the public cloud.

Too many to mention: CloudStack 2.2 includes over 100 new features to increase usability, capabilities and enhance performance.  For complete information we suggest you read the CloudStack 2.2 release notes.
