21 |
each component deployable under a user-configurable <COMPONENT>_BASE_URL. |

23 |
developer-configurable prefix beneath BASE_URL. |
24 |
|
25 |
* Branding customization support across synnefo frontend components: |
26 |
|
27 |
* ability to adapt the Astakos, Pithos and Cyclades Web UI to a company’s |
28 |
visual identity. This is possible using the snf-branding component, which |

is automatically installed on the nodes running the API servers for |
30 |
Astakos, Pithos and Cyclades. |
31 |
|
32 |
|
33 |

37 |
handling. |

45 |
* Specified the API call allong with a procedure to register a Synnefo |
46 |
component (e.g. cyclades) along with the services it provides (e.g. |
47 |
compute, plankton) and the resources it handles (e.g. vm, cpu). |
48 |
|
49 |
* All API calls are moved under '/account/v1.0'. |
50 |
* Support API calls for quotas, commissions and resources. |
51 |
* Improved user activation process |
52 |

55 |
|
56 |
Cyclades |

59 |
only when a server connects to that network. |
