If you're having trouble with the formatting, this release announcement is available online https://blogs.rdoproject.org/2019/04/rdo-stein-released/ --- The RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of the RDO build for OpenStack Stein for RPM-based distributions, CentOS Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RDO is suitable for building private, public, and hybrid clouds. Stein is the 19th release from the OpenStack project, which is the work of more than 1200 contributors <http://stackalytics.com/> from around the world. The release is already available on the CentOS mirror network at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/cloud/x86_64/openstack-stein/. The RDO community project curates, packages, builds, tests and maintains a complete OpenStack component set for RHEL and CentOS Linux and is a member of the CentOS Cloud Infrastructure SIG <https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Cloud>. The Cloud Infrastructure SIG focuses on delivering a great user experience for CentOS Linux 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 <https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/openstack-platform>, is 100% open source, with all code changes going upstream first. <https://i2.wp.com/blogs.rdoproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/yucel-moran-1463336-unsplash.jpg?ssl=1>Photo by Yucel Moran on Unsplash New and Improved Interesting things in the Stein release <https://releases.openstack.org/stein/highlights.html> include: - Ceph Nautilus <https://ceph.com/releases/v14-2-0-nautilus-released/> is the default version of Ceph, a free-software storage platform, implements object storage on a single distributed computer cluster, and provides interfaces for object-, block- and file-level storage, within RDO (or is it the default without OpenStack?). Within Nautilus, the Ceph Dashboard has gained a lot of new functionality like support for multiple users / roles, SSO (SAMLv2) for user authentication, auditing support, a new landing page showing more metrics and health info, I18N support, and REST API documentation with Swagger API. - The extracted Placement service <https://docs.openstack.org/placement/latest/usage/index.html>, used to track cloud resource inventories and usages to help other services effectively manage and allocate their resources, is now packaged as part of RDO. Placement has added the ability to target a candidate resource provider, easing specifying a host for workload migration, increased API performance by 50% for common scheduling operations, and simplified the code by removing unneeded complexity, easing future maintenance. Other improvements include: - The TripleO deployment service <http://tripleo.org/>, used to develop and maintain tooling and infrastructure able to deploy OpenStack in production, using OpenStack itself wherever possible, added support for podman and buildah for containers and container images. Open Virtual Network (OVN) is now the default network configuration and TripleO now has improved composable network support for creating L3 routed networks and IPV6 network support.

The full schedule is available at https://releases.openstack.org/train/schedule.html. Twice during each release cycle, RDO hosts official Test Days shortly after the first and third milestones; therefore, the upcoming test days are 13-14 June 2019 for Milestone One and 16-20 September 2019 for Milestone Three. Get Started There are three ways to get started with RDO. To spin up a proof of concept cloud, quickly, and on limited hardware, try an All-In-One Packstack installation <https://www.rdoproject.org/install/packstack/>. You can run RDO on a single node to get a feel for how it works. For a production deployment of RDO, use the TripleO Quickstart <https://www.rdoproject.org/tripleo/> and you’ll be running a production cloud in short order. Finally, for those that don’t have any hardware or physical resources, there’s the OpenStack Global Passport Program <https://www.openstack.org/passport>. 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 participates in a Q&A service at https://ask.openstack.org. We also have our users at lists.rdoproject.org <https://lists.rdoproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users> for RDO-specific users and operrators. For more developer-oriented content we recommend joining the dev at lists.rdoproject.org mailing list <https://lists.rdoproject.org/mailman/listinfo/dev>. Remember to post a brief introduction about yourself and your RDO story. The mailing lists archives are all available at https://mail.rdoproject.org <https://lists.rdoproject.org/mailman/listinfo>. You can also find extensive documentation on RDOproject.org <https://www.rdoproject.org/>. The #rdo channel on Freenode IRC is also an excellent place to find and give help. We also welcome comments and requests on the CentOS mailing lists <https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo> and the CentOS and TripleO IRC channels (#centos, #centos-devel, and #tripleo on irc.freenode.net), 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 <https://www.rdoproject.org/contribute/>, peruse the CentOS Cloud SIG page <https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Cloud>, and inhale the RDO packaging documentation <https://www.rdoproject.org/documentation/rdo-packaging/>. Join us in #rdo on the Freenode IRC network and follow us on Twitter @RDOCommunity <http://twitter.com/rdocommunity/>.
