OpenStack Havana, the eighth release of the open
source software for building public, private, and hybrid clouds, is
now available with 400 new features to support software development,
managing data and application infrastructure at scale. New services
like OpenStack Metering and Orchestration, coupled with enhancements
to existing services like global clusters for Object Storage and QoS
capabilities for Block Storage make it ideal for organizations that
are building or deploying applications with OpenStack clouds.
“If software development, managing data or running
application infrastructure is strategic to your business, OpenStack
is the platform that will accelerate time to value,” said Jonathan
Bryce, executive director of the OpenStack Foundation. “We’ve
seen more users contribute directly to the Havana release than ever
before. It means users are empowered and driving the direction of
OpenStack based on their real-world use cases and implementations.”
The OpenStack community continues to innovate at an
even greater pace with 910 contributors to the Havana release, a 60%
increase from the Grizzly release six months ago. More than 145
OpenStack ecosystem members employ developers who contributed to this
release, including Canonical, Dreamhost, eNovance, HP, IBM, Intel,
Mirantis, Rackspace, Red Hat, SUSE, and Yahoo!. According to the
latest user survey, OpenStack has been deployed in at least 358
cities across 72 countries.
Nearly 400 new features were added to the open
source cloud platform across compute, storage, networking and
cross-platform services. Two new projects, OpenStack Orchestration
and Metering, were incubated during the Grizzly release cycle and are
now available in the Havana release.
