I don't think 4.2 is coming out anytime soon. Right now all 4.1 builds are stable except for the systemvm. Have a look in their jenkins server http://jenkins.cloudstack.org/. 4.2 is not even listed there. :(
4.2 is scheduled for July. It currently lives in the master branch. The feature freeze is May 31st and then there will be a cut-off.

Too bad CloudStack requires NFS as the primary storage for System VM. So I have to use a DRBD+NFS for that. The setup is as follows: Wait for CloudStack 4.2 :) As we speak I'm working on the new features for CloudStack 4.2, which will bring: - Cloning (Layering) of templates - Snapshotting - Running SystemVMs of RBD The last was made possible by removing the so called "patch disk" in CloudStack. When a SystemVM boots up it requires metadata, like what his IP-address should be, where the management server can be found, etc, etc. We used to generate a file (Yes, FILE) on the Primary Storage which was attached as an extra disk. As you can guess, RBD images are no files and the Bash script which did this didn't understand RBD. The new way is that we open a VirtIO Serial Console to the SystemVM on the Hypervisor where it is running and over that Serial Console the SystemVM will get his metadata. This way we can deploy System VMs from Ceph without the need for NFS or anything else. -- Wido den Hollander 42on B.V.

I will let you guys know how it went.

While we love all of the excitement that this has generated, we want to make sure that other cloud setups aren't getting neglected or ignored. CloudStack, for instance, also has a great Ceph integration thanks to some enterprising work from Wido at 42on.com <http://42on.com> <http://42on.com>. So, are you using CloudStack and Ceph? If so we'd love to hear from you. Whether it's just a quiet note for our eyes only, or whether you have a story to share with the world, we'd love to know. Of course, we'd love to hear about anything you're working on. So, if you have notes to share about Ceph with other cloud flavors, massive storage clusters, or custom work, we'd treasure them appropriately. Feel free to just reply to this email, send a message to community@xxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:community@xxxxxxxxxxx> <mailto:community@xxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:community@xxxxxxxxxxx>>__, message 'scuttlemonkey' on irc.oftc.net <http://irc.oftc.net> <http://irc.oftc.net>, or tie a note to our ip-over-carrier-pigeon network. Thanks, and happy Ceph-ing.
