If you’re managing modern cloud infrastructure, you know how critical security, performance, and reliability are. That’s why the latest Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure 7.2 release is such a big deal. It brings a highly requested feature—two-factor authentication (2FA) for both system administrators and self-service users—plus a series of improvements across compute, storage, and networking that make managing your cloud environment smoother and more efficient.
Built-In Two-Factor Authentication for Safer Access
Security is never optional in IT, especially when you’re running multi-tenant environments or handling sensitive data. Virtuozzo 7.2 introduces TOTP-based two-factor authentication, letting admins enforce 2FA using familiar apps like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.
This isn’t just about ticking a security box—it’s about:
- Strengthening account security for both administrators and end-users
- Ensuring compliance with security requirements in regulated industries
With 2FA in place, your cloud infrastructure is safer against unauthorized access, making it easier to focus on operations rather than worrying about breaches.
Performance and Reliability You Can Count On
Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure 7.2 isn’t just about security. It’s packed with updates that make your cloud environment faster, more resilient, and easier to manage:
- Extensive Testing: Over 3,000 additional test cases help catch edge-case issues before they reach production.
- Broader OS Support: Now includes RHEL 10, AlmaLinux 10, Rocky Linux 10, SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP6/SP7, and Oracle Linux 10.
- Smoother Hypervisor Updates: QEMU updates no longer require rolling maintenance with VM migrations or node reboots, reducing downtime.
- High-Performance Storage: Enjoy up to 2× faster sequential writes with replication redundancy, perfect for append-only databases, mass backups, or snapshot-heavy workloads.
- Smarter Erasure Coding: Virtuozzo now recommends storage schemas based on your failure domains, and admins can set custom M+N schemas directly from the Admin Panel.
- Flexible Networking: Supports clusters with both IPv4 and IPv6 subnets and allows custom MAC address prefixes to avoid conflicts across multiple clusters.
- Reliable Object Storage: A new health endpoint ensures external load balancers only route traffic to healthy backend services.
All these improvements make Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure a robust choice for IT teams who need high-performance cloud infrastructure that scales with confidence.
Upgrading to 7.2 is Simple
- For versions 6.2.1 or later: Navigate to SETTINGS > UPDATE in the admin panel. Nodes will reboot one at a time.
- For versions 6.1 or older: Upgrade to 6.2.1 first, then move to 7.2.
- A quick note: clusters without redundancy may see brief unavailability of storage services or the admin panel during the upgrade.
Check the 7.2 Release Notes for full upgrade instructions and details.
