Great community ideas implemented in CloudShell 8.1

[Quali-Community]

Hi All,

CloudShell 8.1GA was released a few days ago, and I'd like to emphasize and mention the features and changes in this version that came from our community's Idea box.

In no particular order:

1. Resource Command Outputs - suggested by myunus, the option to view all the command outputs of a single resource.
2. Include Execution Server Name for execution Activities - suggested by myunus, show the execution server that executed the commands.
3. Support vSphere 6.5 - suggested by jim.pfleger.vz, upgrading the vCenter cloud provider support to version 6.5
4. Unclear error message when there is no available execution server - suggested by botmer, getting more information about queued commands.
5. Automatically choose the resource template when resource creation is initiated from Shell package installer - suggested by Ohad.B, improve the usability when creating a new resource from the just-imported shell.
6. Show resource and sub-resource live status in Reservation List View - suggested by Leeor.V, add the live status details for similar usability as with the diagram view and support sub-resource live status.
7. Ranorex 7.0 Support - suggested by creynolds, update TestShell to support the latest Ranorex version.
8. Inventory Shell Resources placed in current inventory folder - suggested by Gregory.S, create resources in the currently selected folder
9. Support Python 3.x in CloudShell - suggested by Song.C, allow using the CloudShell automation api with Python 3.x scripts.
10. Block user interaction during Setup - suggested by Yaniv.K, prevent users from doing changes to the sandbox while the setup runs.
11. Provide CloudShell version in the driver command context - suggested by Nahum.T, get more details in the command context about the CloudShell version and the shell standard being used.
12. Exclude Inventory from the CloudShell Portal - suggested by Kimo.S, exclude/include resources from the Portal/Inventory page.

So thank you all for your great ideas! keep sending us your ideas, and keep voting for the ideas you think are important.

Yaniv
