Upgrading to Ocata from Newton¶

Upgrading Code and Enabling Services¶

1. Deploy Ocata code or packages.
2. Restart all services. See the Newton upgrade guide for enabling designate-producer and designate-worker.

New Features¶

• The notifications Designate emits via MQ are now pluggable, drivers are defined by python entrypoints and the new notification_plugin option in the DEFAULT config section enables selection. By default, the notifications have not changed. There is an audit plugin that can be used, if desired.
• Scheduling zones across pools. See Pool Scheduler for more details.

Deprecation Notices¶

• designate-zone-manager and designate-pool-manager remain deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
