Announcing Incus 6.11

The Incus team is pleased to announce the release of Incus 6.11!

Without a doubt, the headline feature for this release is initial support for Linstor as a new storage driver for those looking for an alternative to Ceph! But that’s far from all that this Incus release brings to the table. It also comes with a lot of new VM, OCI and networking features!

The highlights for this release are:

• Linstor storage driver
• New MAC address range
• USB NICs in VMs
• USB disks in VMs
• Tracking of VM machine definition
• Configurable OCI entrypoint
• Unprivileged ICMP (ping) in OCI containers
• Unprivileged low ports in OCI containers
• Allocated CPU time in instance state API
• Configurable DNS servers
• Extra IPv4 routes through DHCP
• Configurable IPv4 DHCP lease expiry on OVN
• OVN logical switch name now part of network state
