Hi All,

I would like to call a vote for Apache CloudStack (Incubating) Release 4.0.0-incubating (second round).

We encourage the whole community to download and test these release artifacts, so that any critical issues can be resolved before the release is made. The more time that each individual spends reviewing the artifacts, the higher confidence we can have in both the release itself and our ability to pass an IPMC vote later on. Thanks to everyone who tested the release candidate during our last round, we have several critical fixes included in this new release candidate! Everyone is free to vote on this release, so please give it a shot.

Instructions for Validating and Testing the artifacts can be found

If you have any trouble setting up a test environment using the procedure above, please ask on the cloudstack-dev@i.a.o list. Someone will be sure to help, and we'll improve our test procedure documentation at the same time!

Now, on to the specifics of what we are voting on...

The following artifacts are up for the vote: http://people.apache.org/~chipchilders/dist/cloudstack/releases/4.0.0-incubating/

This needs to be opened up for AWS calls to work. * CLOUDSTACK-334: Ubuntu packaging assumes presence of cloud user. * CLOUDSTACK-335: KVM VPC load balancer not working

The vote will be open for 72 hours.

For sanity in tallying the vote, can PPMC and IPMC members please be sure to indicate "(binding)" with their vote? [ ] +1 approve [ ] +0 no opinion [ ] -1 disapprove (and reason why)

Thanks!
