Enhanced and Scalable Services for Data Centers and Resource Providers
Increase the efficiency of existing Cloud infrastructures based on OpenStack or OpenNebula through advanced scheduling, flexible cloud / batch management, network orchestration and interfacing of high-level Cloud services to existing storage systems.

| **New to ElectricIndigo:** **ElectricIndigo** includes more than 40 modular components, distributed via 170 software packages and 50 ready-to-use Docker containers, adding the following new features to the previous INDIGO release: * FairShare Scheduler for OpenNebula * Network Orchestrator Wrapper (NOW) for Intra-site Networking Management in OpenNebula * Command Line Interface for submitting TOSCA Templates to the INDIGO PaaS All the ElectricIndigo components support the CentOS 7 and Ubuntu 16.04 operating systems, as well as open source Cloud management frameworks such as OpenStack Newton and OpenNebula 5.X. ## Release Notes The INDIGO-2 release consists in 43 Products divided in, mainly, Core Services, and Applications: * 170 OS packages * 53 RPMS & SRPMS * 97 binary & source DEBS * 20 binary & source tarballs * 50 Docker containers * 243 external/third-party dependencies INDIGO-2 is fully supported * on the following **Operating Systems** platforms: * **CentOS 7** * **Ubuntu 16.04** * Optionally PTs support also other OS platforms. You can find more information in the individual products documentation. * on the following **CMFs (Cloud Management Framework)** versions: * **OpenStack v. Newton,** * **OpenNebula v. 4.14** You can find in the later chapters the full list of products, with detailed release notes and instructions for their installation/configuration. ### Installation Notes All INDIGO - DataCloud products are distributed from standard OS repositories and DockerHub registry. The packages repositories have the following structure: * INDIGO-DC **production** (stable): `indigo/2///{base|updates}` * stable and signed, well tested software components, recommended to be installed on production-sites * Third-party: `indigo/2///third-party` * packages that are not part of INDIGO, or not part of the base OS or EPEL, but used as dependencies by other INDIGO components * INDIGO-DC **testing**: `indigo-testing/2//` * packages that will become part of the next stable distribution; in the certification and validation phase. * INDIGO-DC **preview**: `indigo-preview/2//` * signed packages that will become part of the next stable update, available for technical-previews where * `` is currently: x86\_64, SRPMS, tgz * `` is currently: centos7, ubuntu All packages are signed with the INDIGO - DataCloud gpg key. The public key can be downloaded from [here](http://repo.indigo-datacloud.eu/repository/RPM-GPG-KEY-indigodc), and the fingerprint from [here](http://repo.indigo-datacloud.eu/repository/INDIGODC_key_fingerprint.asc). It is strongly recommended the use of the lastest version of the **indigodc-release** package containing the public key and the YUM and APT repository files. On the [DockerHub Registry](https://hub.docker.com/), INDIGO - DataCloud has organized the repositories under two Organizations: * [indigodatacloud](https://hub.docker.com/u/indigodatacloud/), for Core Services * [indigodatacloudapps](https://hub.docker.com/u/indigodatacloudapps/), for Applications Containers present in those repositories and released in INDIGO-2 are tagged with "*indigo-2*" tag and signed, leveraging the [Docker’s trust features](https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/) so that users can pull trusted images. To understand how to install and configure INDIGO-1 products either refer to the [Generic Installation & Configuration Guide](/indigo-datacloud-releases/chapter1/generic_installation_and_configuration_guide_1.md) chapter or to each individual product documentation. ### Software INDIGO-2 software can be downloaded from [INDIGO DataCloud repositories](http://repo.indigo-datacloud.eu/). ### Documentation Please find INDIGO-1 documentation [here](https://www.gitbook.com/@indigo-dc/) ### Support Most complex software contains bugs, we are not an exception. One of the features of free and open source software is the ability to report bugs, helping to fix or improve the software you use. INDIGO - DataCloud project uses the [GGUS (Global Grid User Support)](https://ggus.eu/) tool as its user support system. It provides sophisticated search functionality, report generation, interfaces to bug tracking systems used by different middleware components, and automatic ticket reminder including escalation indication. Please use the **INDIGO - DataCloud Catch-All** GGUS Support Unit or directly contact us through the [indigo-su@lists.indigo-datacloud.eu](https://lists.indigo-datacloud.eu/sympa/info/indigo-su) mailing-list. More details regarding each product support channels are provided in the respective products release pages.
