-  * **Image Repository**. The Image Repository allows users to easily specify disk images from a catalog without worrying about low-level disk configuration attributes or block device mapping. Also, image access control is applied to the images registered in the repository, hence simplifying multi-user environments and image sharing. The traditional method of specifying VM disks is also fully supported.+  * **Image Repository**.

-  * **MySQL support**. OpenNebula can work now with MySQL or Sqlite DBs backends. The new MySQL support brings important performance and scalability improvements compared to the Sqlite implementation. MySQL is the recommended option for large-scale clouds.+  * **MySQL support**.

-  * **Scalability Improvements**. Several components of OpenNebula have been tuned to work with tens of thousands of VMs, including the redesign of the scheduler and adjustments to the monitoring modules.+  * **Scalability Improvements**.

-  * **Cluster support**. Physical hosts can now be grouped in logical clusters, so after a cluster is defined it can be then used to set the placement of a VM.+  * **Cluster support**.

-  * **Authorization & Authentication Drivers**. The authorization and authentication processes in OpenNebula have been totally redesigned. Now they can be handled natively by the OpenNebula core, offering the same functionality as OpenNebula 1.4. Alternatively, the A&A processes can be handled by an external component that can be integrated with any A&A system or user maps (e.g. LDAP, Kerberos...). As an example OpenNebula 2.0 features a quota based authorization module and user authentication based on RSA keys.+  * **Authorization & Authentication Drivers**.

   * **Virtual Networking Improvements**. OpenNebula 2.0 lets you define generic attributes associated to a a Virtual Network (e.g. gateway, dns servers...) that can then be included in the context of a VM. This will let you easily configure VMs with multiple NICs. Additionally Virtual Networks can now be defined as public, and thus shared among multiple  users.    * **Virtual Networking Improvements**.
