Nova 14.0.0 release is including a lot of new features and bugfixes. It can be extremely hard to mention all the changes we introduced during that release but we beg you to read at least the upgrade section which describes the required modifications that you need to do for upgrading your cloud from 13.0.0 (Mitaka) to 14.0.0 (Newton).
That said, a few major changes are worth to notice here. This is not an exhaustive list of things to notice, rather just important things you need to know :
- - Latest API microversion supported for Newton is v2.38
- - Nova now provides a new placement RESTful API endpoint that is for
- the moment optional where Nova compute nodes use it for providing
- resources. For the moment, the nova-scheduler is not using it but we
- plan to check the placement resources for Ocata. In case you plan to
- rolling-upgrade the compute nodes between Newton and Ocata, please
- look in the notes below how to use the new placement API.
- - Cells V2 now supports booting instances for one cell v2 only. We plan
- to add a multi-cell support for Ocata. You can prepare for Ocata now
- by creating a cellv2 now using the nova-manage related commands, but
- configuring Cells V2 is still fully optional for this cycle.
- - Nova is now using Glance v2 API for getting image resources.
- - API microversions 2.36 and above now deprecate the REST resources in
- Nova used to proxy calls to other service type APIs (eg. /os-volumes).
- We'll still supporting those until we raise our minimum API version
- to 2.36 which is not planned yet (we're supporting v2.1 as of now) but
- you're encouraged to stop using those resources and rather calling the
- other services that provide those natively.

Microsoft RemoteFX enhances the visual experience in RDP connections,
including providing access to virtualized instances of a physical GPU to
multiple guests running on Hyper-V.
-
+
In order to use RemoteFX in Hyper-V 2012 R2, one or more DirectX 11
capable display adapters must be present and the RDS-Virtualization
server feature must be installed.

the Hyper-V compute node's 'nova.conf' file::
