Release Summary :

This is the first release after the OpenSDS project transformed as The SODA Foundation. However currently we continue the release naming alphabetically based on island names:). So this is a ‘E’ release and named as “Elba” (island in Italy and symbolically representing our solidarity to the global fight against covid-19 virus)

This is a SODA Release comprising the corresponding projects or repositories of SODA Landscape.

All the SODA Releases will be made from github.com/sodafoundation/releases from now onwards. As per the current plan, we will be starting our quarterly releases starting from Elba release.

This release is mainly based on the Daito release from OpenSDS projects. There are some project/repository reorganizations, updates on certain projects along with some quality improvements. There are no big feature enhancements in this release.

This release version number 0.20.x has been selected to indicate the beginning of SODA releases (also disconnect from OpenSDS release sequence) . Each project will follow its own release version numbering, tags, names etc. SODA Release will mention the list and links of all the projects considered within the specific release.

We plan to have the major release of SODA in 2020. (v1.0.0)

    • Earlier github.com/opensds/opensds project which was known as hotpot, was managing the on-prem data management connecting platforms on the north side and storage backends on the south side. This project has been decoupled into Three Different projects/repositories - api, controller and dock. Please see the readme of each project for more details.

      (github.com/opensds/opensds has been migrated to github.com/sodafoundation/opensds and this project has been decoupled to github.com/sodafoundation/api , github.com/sodafoundation/controller and github.com/sodafoundation/dock)

    • api : Decoupled to handle the SODA API interface. This will contain the API server and api services going forward. Currently, all the APIs which were working earlier in Daito releases are decoupled and tested.

    • controller: Decoupled to handle all the control services (like metadata management, scheduler, other bookkeeping, utils etc)

    • dock: Decoupled to handle all the heterogeneous storage driver interfaces and related modules.

Known Issue:

Multicloud s3 compatible API integration with dashboard has a signature mismatch issue. Hence, the dashboard in this release cannot support the latest multicloud with s3 compatible APIs. Hence, the latest multicloud cannot be experienced from the Dashboard for multicloud object operations.

1. Options to use the latest multicloud from elba:

  • There is no limitation on the usage of mulicloud using any other client through which s3 compatible apis can be accessed

  • We have provided a postman based demo setup information for a reference and experience the latest multicloud with s3 compatible APIs here

2. If you want to use elba release with previous version of multicloud without s3 compatible api support (to experience the features through dashboard)

Use cases/Demo/Integrations in this release

  • Streaming Usecase Demo

    • Added streaming use case demo using the multicloud project
    • To check out this demo and how to use etc, all the details here.
