This release is the first one to include the [[documentation:rel4.2:oneapps_overview|OpenNebula OneFlow]] component (former AppFlow component available in OpenNebulaApps). OneFlow allows users and administrators to define, execute and manage multi-tiered applications, or services composed of interconnected Virtual Machines with deployment dependencies between them. This version also comes with handy new features: | This release is the first one to include the [[documentation:rel4.2:oneapps_overview|OpenNebula OneFlow]] component (former AppFlow component available in OpenNebulaApps).

====== Supported Platform Components ====== | |
| |
Because OpenNebula is inherently portable to different operating systems and virtualization platforms, most Linux distributions and Hypervisors are supported. However, not all platform configurations and combinations exhibit a similar functionality, performance and stability. You can contact us if you need advise about the best platform configurations and environments for functionality and performance. Please read our [[http://opennebula.org/software:testing|Certification Policy]] for more information. | |
| |
====== Certified Platform Components ====== | |
This is the list of the individual platform components that have been through the complete [[http://opennebula.org/software:testing|OpenNebula Quality Assurance and Certification Process]]. | |
