Fedora 16 now features &#8220;Aeolus Conductor&#8221; as a feature enhancement designed to create and manage cloud instances across a variety of cloud types. OpenStack tools have also been included to help configure and run cloud compute and storage infrastructures; new too is HekaFS, a technology based on GlusterFS to enable cloud-ready distributed parallel filesystems. Lastly in the cloud category, the Pacemaker-cloud application service has now been incorporated to improve availability.<\/p>\n<p>Red Hat reminds us that Fedora Project developers collaborate closely with upstream free software project teams to try and provide the best experience for users; that access and integration of new features can hopefully lead to wider and further innovation. The Fedora Project aims to release a new version of its free operating system approximately every 6 months. According to Red Hat, this rapid development cycle encourages collaboration and the inclusion of the latest, most cutting-edge open-source features available. Fedora is built by community members from across the globe, and the Fedora Project&#8217;s transparent and open collaboration process has attracted more than 24,000 registered contributors.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of virtualization technologies, Fedora 16 has been peppered with SPICE USB to offer sharing and audio volume messaging for virtualized desktops; Virtual Machines Lock Manager protects users from starting the same virtual machine twice or adding the same disk to two different virtual machines; and Virt-manager Guest Inspection allows read-only browsing of guest filesystems and the Windows Registry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The open source community sets a new bar for technical excellence in the creation of this release,&#8221; said leader of the Fedora Project Jared Smith. &#8220;Fedora 16 combines the newest advancements in open source virtualized and cloud computing environments with significant under-the hood-improvements \u2014 all while continuing to improve the operating system&#8217;s usability. The Fedora Project&#8217;s commitment to advancing free and open source software is absolutely reflected in what the community delivered in Fedora 16.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cloud and virtualization technologies now feature in latest version release The Red Hat sponsored Fedora Project has announced availability of version 16 of the free and open-source operating system distribution.
