The first step was completing the port of RHEL 7.2 packages to CentOS power64. Next we will need to make some ppc64le/ppc64 koji builders available in the CentOS community build system [1]. Step 3 is getting power folks to join the CentOS Cloud, Virtualization, Storage special interest groups and building out the POWER ecosystem.

You will find some openstack prerequisite packages in Fedora’s EPEL repository [2] which just added ppc64le a few weeks back. I plan to add epel-release to the the CentOS 7 Extras repository but you may manually install it for now.
