This PR aligns the use of terminology, renaming VM / virtual machine references to 'Instance' and also capitalising the terms Templates, Network, Snapshot, User, Account in CloudStack APIs, error and log messages, events, tooltips, etc. Many typos, grammar and spelling mistakes were fixed, also terms like IPv4, VPN, VPC, etc. were properly capitalised. Some error messages were cleaned for better readability. The test cases, expecting some exception strings were adjusted accordingly.
Here is the wiki page, describing the changes in details:

This PR adds support for specifying user data (cloud-init) for system VMs via Zone Scoped global settings. This allows the operators to customize the System VMs and setup monitoring, logging or execute any custom commands.
We set the user data from the global setting in /var/cache/cloud/cmdline, and use the NoCloud datasource to process user data. cloud-init service is still disabled in the system VMs and it's executed as part of the cloud-postinit service which executes the postinit.sh script.
Added global settings:
systemvm.userdata.enabled - Disabled by default. Needs to be enabled to utilize the feature.
console.proxy.vm.userdata - UUID of the User data to be used for Console Proxy
secstorage.vm.userdata - UUID of the User data to be used for Secondary Storage VM
virtual.router.userdata - UUID of the User data to be used for Virtual Routers
CS creates transient KVM domain.xml. When instance is unmanaged from CS, explicit dump of domain has to be taken to manage is outside of CS.
With this PR
domainXML gets backed up and becomes persistent for further management of Instance.
Stopped instance also can be unmanaged, last host for instance is considered for defining domain
hostid param is supported in unmanageVirtualMachine API for KVM hypervisor and for stopped Instances
hostid field in response of unmanageVirtualMachine, representing host used for unmanage operation
Disable unmanaging instance with config drive, can unmanage from API using forced=true param for KVM
* draas initial changes
* Added option to enable disaster recovery on a backup respository. Added UpdateBackupRepositoryCmd api.
* Added timeout for mount operation in backup restore configurable via global setting
* Addressed review comments
* fix for simulator test failures
* Added UT for coverage
* Fix create instance from backup ui for other providers
* Added events to add/update backup repository
* Fix race in fetchZones
* One more fix in fetchZones in DeployVMFromBackup.vue
* Fix zone selection in createNetwork via Create Instance from backup form.
* Allow template/iso selection in create instance from backup ui
* rename draasenabled to crosszoneinstancecreation
* Added Cross-zone instance creation in test_backup_recovery_nas.py
* Added UT in BackupManagerTest and UserVmManagerImplTest
* Integration test added for Cross-zone instance creation in test_backup_recovery_nas.py
* ScaleIO/PowerFlex smoke tests improvements, and some fixes
* Fix test_volumes.py, encrypted volume size check (for powerflex volumes)
* Fix test_over_provisioning.py (over provisioning supported for powerflex)
* Update vm snapshot tests
* Update volume size delta in primary storage resource count for user vm volumes only
The VR volumes resource count for PowerFlex volumes is updated here, resulting in resource count discrepancy
(which is re-calculated through ResourceCountCheckTask later, and skips the VR volumes)
* Fix test_import_unmanage_volumes.py (unsupported for powerflex)
* Fix test_sharedfs_lifecycle.py (volume size check for powerflex)
* Update powerflex.connect.on.demand config default to true
This feature adds the ability to create a new instance from a VM backup for dummy, NAS and Veeam backup providers. It works even if the original instance used to create the backup was expunged or unmanaged. There are two parts to this functionality:
Saving all configuration details that the VM had at the time of taking the backup. And using them to create an instance from backup.
Enabling a user to expunge/unmanage an instance that has backups.
This PR allows attaching of GPU devices via PCI, mdev or VF to an Instance for KVM.
It allows the operator to discover the GPU devices on the KVM host and create a Compute Offering with GPU support based on the available GPU devices on the host. Once the operator has created the Compute offering, it can be used by users to launch Instances with GPU devices.
The Extensions Framework in Apache CloudStack is designed to provide a flexible and standardised mechanism for integrating external systems and custom workflows into CloudStack’s orchestration process. By defining structured hook points during key operations—such as virtual machine deployment, resource preparation, and lifecycle events—the framework allows administrators and developers to extend CloudStack’s behaviour without modifying its core codebase.
The Netris Plugin introduces Netris as a network service provider in CloudStack to be able to create and manage Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) in CloudStack, being able to orchestrate the following network functionalities:
- Network segmentation with Netris-VXLAN isolation method
- Routing between "public" IP and network segments with an ACS ROUTED mode offering
- SourceNAT, DNAT, 1:1 NAT between "public" IP and network segments with an ACS NATTED mode offering
- Routing between VPC network segments (tiers in ACS nomenclature)
- Access Lists (ACLs) between VPC tiers and "public" network (TCP, UDP, ICMP) both as global egress rules and "public" IP specific ingress rules.
- ACLs between VPC network tiers (TCP, UDP, ICMP)
- External load balancing – between VPC network tiers and "public" IP
- Internal load balancing – between VPC network tiers
- CloudStack Virtual Router services (DHCP, DNS, UserData, Password Injection, etc…)
