Moreover, quality is a relative concept: customers, developers and end users may have different expectations from the product, and it is very important to achieve common understanding and agreement among all stakeholders.

Network Traffic Analysis, Aggregation, Anomaly Detection and Prediction With Apache Kafka, Apache Spark and InfluxDB

CloudStack-UI 1.49.9 is Out

On September 5, 2017 we released CloudStack-UI version 1.49.9. This release is a bugfix release. The key change in the release is the modification of the version naming scheme, which was aligned with the Apache Cloudstack versions releases. Thus, in version 1.49.9, the value of the numbers is:

  • “1” - responsible for the concept of the interface that is currently used;
  • “49” - responsible for compatibility with ACS, currently 4.9;
