2025.2 Series Release Notes

16.0.0.0rc1

Prelude

This release supports the latest OpenStack Swift release. It contains the new podman gateway driver to run storlet applications inside podman containers, instead of docker containers, to support more deployment patterns.

New Features

  • The podman gateway driver has been added. This allows users to run applications inside podman containers, which do not require root priviledge. Note that using this driver requires podman.socket service started with the user used by swift services, so that swift services can request operations about containers.

15.0.0

Prelude

This release supports the latest OpenStack Swift release and the updated tested runtimes globally defined in OpenStack project.

New Features

  • Now Storlets is tested in Ubuntu Noble (24.04).

Bug Fixes

  • Re-added the static script for storlet-daeamon and storlet-daemon-factory. These can be used in case the script generated during installation does not work as start script in container (For example when storlets is installed in venv while system python is used to launch the daemons). This is especially useful in Ubuntu Noble which does not allow direct installation to system python using pip.
