This release strengthens the foundation for reliable, large-scale + cloud operations while giving administrators complete flexibility in + managing optimization workflows. + + Cloud operators gain secure and reliable volume migration processes that eliminate + data loss scenarios and ensure tenant isolation. The Host Maintenance strategy + now provides granular control over migration behavior, including the ability to + disable live or cold migration and safely stop instances when migration + cannot proceed. + + The new ``Aetos data source`` adds secure, role-based access to Prometheus metrics + through Keystone authentication. This enables multi-tenant monitoring while + maintaining access controls across your cloud infrastructure. + + Administrators can now exercise precise control over optimization workflows by + manually skipping actions or allowing Watcher to automatically skip actions + based on detected conditions. Custom status messages document why administrators + or Watcher took specific actions, improving operational visibility and + troubleshooting.
