Virtualization Daily

Thanks to some generous help for the folks at rPath, the Gallery virtual appliance has been updated to version 1.1. Changes in the release include.

• 1. Updated Gallery 1 and Gallery 2 versions
  The new version includes Gallery 1.5.6 and Gallery 2.2.1
• 2. More Gallery 2 modules enabled, and Downloadable Plugins are also available.
• 3. SCSI emulation instead of IDE emulation makes it possible to run on VMWare ESX server.
  There is an VMware ESX image for those who want to run it on VI3.
• 4. rPath Appliance Platform (rAP) agent for remote appliance administration
  This is interesting. The people over at rPath has created a remote administration agent for appliances built on their rPath Builder service. It helps end users schedule backups, manage the appliance and makes updating to newer releases easier.
• 5. Increased number of build types.
  The appliance is now available in 9 build types, ranging from VMware and Microsoft VHD via Xen and Amazon e2 (ami-468c692f) to bootable cd based installs.
