Releases Notes - Mantychore - Version 0.1

The Mantychore developer team is proud to announce the Mantychore 0.1 Release. This is an early beta release, the functionality is minimal (see below) but will be useful to test the deployment experience and the feedback cycle.

Mantychore will follow the Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS) paradigm to enable National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) and other e-Infrastructure providers to enhance their service portfolio by building and deploying software and tools to provide infrastructure resources like routers, switches, optical devices, and IP networks as a service to virtual research communities.

The key features of Mantychore 0.1 include

  • Initial support for management of resources. Create, start, stop and remove operations are supported.
  • Support to list and set interfaces.
  • Support for CLI (Karaf gogo based shell).
  • Support for resource profiles
  • Support for JunOS (>10.10) systems with Netconf protocol enabled.
  • Persistence support.
  • Remote access to debug and fix errors.
