Ocata Series Release Notes

8.0.7

Security Issues

  • Passwords generated by the OS::Heat::RandomString resource may have had less entropy than expected, depending on what is specified in the character_class and character_sequence properties. This has been corrected so that each character present in any of the specified classes or sequences now has an equal probability of appearing at each point in the generated random string.

  • Heat no longer uses standard Python RNG when generating values for OS::Heat::RandomString resource, and instead relies on system’s RNG for that.

8.0.0

  • OS::Aodh::CompositeAlarm resource plugin is added to manage Aodh composite alarm, aim to replace OS::Aodh::CombinationAlarm which has been deprecated in Newton release.

  • OS::Nova::Server now supports ephemeral_size and ephemeral_format properties for block_device_mapping_v2 property.
