Capitolo 2. Compatibility Matrix for 4.1.0
CloudStack is tested against certain operating systems, hypervisors, and other components to ensure that it works on specific platforms. It may work well on other platforms, but the platforms listed below are the ones we specifically test against and are more likely to be able to help troubleshoot if you run into any issues.
2.1. Supported Operating Systems
This section lists the operating systems that are supported for running CloudStack's Management Server.
Note that we test against specific versions of the OSes, so compatibility with CentOS 6.3 may not indicate compatibility with CentOS 6.2, etc.
2.2. Supported Hypervisors
CloudStack supports three hypervisor families, Xen with XAPI, KVM, and VMware with vSphere.
CentOS 6.2 with KVM
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 with KVM
XenServer 6.0.2 (with Hotfix)
XenServer 6.1
VMware vSphere/Vcenter 5.1
Bare metal support is not present in this release.
The CloudStack Web-based UI should be compatible with any modern browser, but it's possible that some browsers will not render portions of the UI reliably, depending on their support of Web standards. For best results, we recommend one of the following browsers.
Internet Explorer 8
Firefox 10+
Chrome
Safari
Note that it's difficult to confirm specific browser versions for Firefox and Google Chrome, given the speed of their update cycle.
