Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure 7.2: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Admin and Self-Service Users

Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure 7.2

Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure 7.2 is now released, adding highly requested two-factor authentication (2FA) for both system administrators and self-service users, plus a set of updates across compute, storage, and networking.

See below for details on this feature and the additional improvements in 7.2 update.

Stronger access security with built-in 2FA (TOTP)

With Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure 7.2, system administrators can enforce TOTP-based two-factor authentication (2FA) using popular authenticator apps such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.

For service providers, this is especially important for: 

  • Strengthening account security for system administrators and self-service users 
  • Compliance with security requirements from specific industries and jurisdictions

Additional Enhancements

  • 3,000+ additional test cases, with a strong focus on catching post-ship regressions and hard-to-reproduce edge cases. 
  • New guest OS support, including RHEL 10, AlmaLinux 10, Rocky Linux 10, SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 SP6 / SP7, Oracle Linux 10 
  • QEMU hypervisor updates no longer require rolling maintenance with VM migrations and node reboots, thus should reduce update effort and disruption. 
  • Up to 2× higher sequential write performance with replication redundancy on tiers with checksums enabled — particularly helpful for append-only databases, and for heavy operations like mass backups and snapshots. 
  • Smarter erasure coding schema selection in storage policies: the system recommends a schema based on available failure domains. You can also set custom M+N schemas directly in the Admin Panel (no CLI needed) for non-standard configurations. 
  • Infrastructure network migration now supports networks with both IPv4 and IPv6 subnets, reducing preparation time for physical cluster migration. 
  • Custom MAC address prefix for all VM network interfaces — useful to avoid MAC duplication when running multiple clusters in the same L2 network segments. 
  • New health endpoint in Object Storage API, enabling external load-balancers to route traffic only to healthy backend services. 

How to Upgrade

Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure 7.2 is available now. Partners running version 6.2.1 or later can upgrade directly by following these steps:

  1. Go to SETTINGS > UPDATE in the admin panel. 
  1. Start the upgrade process. 
  1. Nodes will reboot automatically, one at a time. 
    On clusters without redundancy, storage services and the admin panel may be briefly unavailable during the process. 

Partners running versions 6.1 or older need to upgrade to 6.2.1 first before jumping to 7.2 cumulatively.

See the 7.2 Release Notes for full details.
