The RDO community project curates, packages, builds, tests and maintains a complete OpenStack component set for RHEL and CentOS Stream and is a member of the CentOS Cloud Infrastructure SIG. The Cloud Infrastructure SIG focuses on delivering a great user experience for CentOS users looking to build and maintain their own on-premise, public or hybrid clouds.
All work on RDO and on the downstream release, Red Hat OpenStack Platform, is 100% open source, with all code changes going upstream first.
The highlights of the broader upstream OpenStack project may be read via https://releases.openstack.org/antelope/highlights.html but here are some highlights:
- The continuation of SRBAC and FIPS to make OpenStack a more secure
platform across various services, along with additional support in images.
- Additional drivers and features for Block Storage to support more
technologies from vendors such as Dell, Hitachi and NetApp, among others.
- DNS Zones that can now be shared with other tenants (projects)
allowing them to create and manage recordsets within the Zone.
- Networking port forwarding was added to the dashboard for Floating
IPs.
- Additional networking features to support OVN.
- Compute now allows PCI devices to be scheduled via the Placement API
and power consumption can be managed for dedicated CPUs.
- Load balancing now allows users to enable cpu-pinning.
- Community testing of compatibility between non-adjacent upstream
versions.
OpenStack Antelope is the first release marked as Skip Level Upgrade Release Process or SLURP. According to this model ( https://governance.openstack.org/tc/resolutions/20220210-release-cadence-adj...) this means that upgrades will be supported between these (SLURP) releases, in addition to between adjacent major releases.
*TripleO removal in the RDO Antelope release:* During the Antelope cycle, The TripleO team communicated the decision of abandoning the development of the project and deprecating the master branches. According to that upstream decision, TripleO packages have been removed from the RDO distribution and will not be included in the Antelope release.

*The Next Release Cycle*
At the end of one release, focus shifts immediately to the next release i.e Bobcat.
*Get Started*
To spin up a proof of concept cloud, quickly, and on limited hardware, try an All-In-One Packstack installation. You can run RDO on a single node to get a feel for how it works.
Finally, for those that don’t have any hardware or physical resources, there’s the OpenStack Global Passport Program. This is a collaborative effort between OpenStack public cloud providers to let you experience the freedom, performance and interoperability of open source infrastructure. You can quickly and easily gain access to OpenStack infrastructure via trial programs from participating OpenStack public cloud providers around the world.
*Get Help*
The RDO Project has our users@lists.rdoproject.org for RDO-specific users and operators. For more developer-oriented content we recommend joining the dev@lists.rdoproject.org mailing list. Remember to post a brief introduction about yourself and your RDO story. The mailing lists archives are all available at https://mail.rdoproject.org. You can also find extensive documentation on RDOproject.org.
The #rdo channel on OFTC IRC is also an excellent place to find and give help.
We also welcome comments and requests on the CentOS devel mailing list and the CentOS IRC channels (#centos, #centos-cloud, and #centos-devel in Libera.Chat network), however we have a more focused audience within the RDO venues.
*Get Involved*
To get involved in the OpenStack RPM packaging effort, check out the RDO contribute pages, peruse the CentOS Cloud SIG page, and inhale the RDO packaging documentation. Join us in #rdo on the OFTC IRC network and follow us on Twitter @RDOCommunity. You can also find us on Facebook and YouTube.
