Cloudify 4.3 – What’s New

  • New RPM Installation with all dependencies pre-packed to provide a quick, simple stable and offline installation.
  • Plugins upload process now links the plugin.yaml file to the plugin’s wagon, simplifying  referencing the plugin from the blueprint, and eliminating the need of specifying a version and distribution of the plugin in the blueprint.
  • Full support of 3 levels of visibility for resources (Blueprints, Plugins, Secrets) – The resources can be created in each of the levels, and can later be set to a higher level of visibility.
  • Plugins-bundle can be uploaded to the manager in one-click and includes all OOTB plugins that fit the OS distribution.
  • A Docker image is now available from the Cloudify download page for you to quickly get Cloudify Manager up and running.
