AppMarket 2.0.2

September 18th, 2014. The OpenNebula team is pleased to announce the release maintenance of AppMarket 2.0.2. This is a maintenance release that solves issues reported by the community.

This release is part of the AppMarket 2.0.x series, which extends the AppMarket functionality by adding a new set of features that enables the management and processing of OVA files. A new component AppMarket Worker is introduced, which handles the OVA package treatment (download, unpack, OVF parsing) and image format conversion. This release also features a new API, a new simplified import dialog, a new AppMarket interface via Sunstone, and handles VMware and VirtualBox OVAs.

What's New in the AppMarket 2.0.x Series

In the following list you can check the highlights of AppMarket 2.0.x:

  • Multi-image Appliances: AppMarket Appliances can now have multiple disks, which creates new possibilities to upload and register more complex and feature complete Appliances.
  • Sunstone Import: users will be able to import registered Appliances to OpenNebula via Sunstone by using pre-filled Image and Template creation forms.
  • Sunstone Views: two new Sunstone views: an AppMarket admin view, that allows full control of the AppMarket, and a user view, that allows end users to import registered appliances.
  • New simplified import dialog.

AppMarket Worker

A new horizontally-scalable component that subscribes to the AppMarket and executes jobs. It enhances the AppMarket functionality by adding:

  • OVA processing: If a URL to an OVA package is supplied, the AppMarket will be able completely process it and integrate it to its repository. This involves: downloading and unpacking of the OVA package, parsing of the OVF file and creating a corresponding OpenNebula template. This component supports VMware and VirtualBox OVFs.
  • Format conversion: appliances registered in a specific format, can be converted to a new format.
  • Extensibility: All the operations described above are implemented within the framework of an extensible driver engine, which allows further customization and integration by the administrators.
