Eucalyptus Compatibility Matrix

This compatibility matrix details supported platforms in Eucalyptus 4.3 software.

Compute compatibility

OS and Hypervisors Version Architecture Notes
CentOS+KVM 6.7 x86_64

For new installations, Eucalyptus 4.3 requires RHEL / CentOS 7 as the underlying OS.

If you are upgrading your existing cloud to Eucalyptus 4.3:
  • Eucalyptus 4.3 is the last release series where RHEL / CentOS 6 is a supported OS.
  • The Eucalyptus 4.3 series provides the opportunity, through instance migration tools, to migrate your existing Eucalyptus clouds to RHEL / CentOS 7.
  • If you expect to upgrade to future releases of Eucalyptus, beyond the 4.3 series, then RHEL / CentOS 7 will be required.
CentOS+KVM 7.2 x86_64 See above note.
RHEL+KVM 6.7 x86_64 See above note.
RHEL+KVM 7.2 x86_64 See above note.
