OpenStack ‘Restarts the Alphabet’ with Antelope Release as Users Worldwide Embrace LOKI as the OpenInfra Standard of Deployment
Summary
The OpenStack community today released Antelope, returning to “A” in its alphabetical release-naming protocol as it issues the 27th version of the world’s most widely deployed open source cloud infrastructure software. Magnum has also been recertified as a Kubernetes orchestrator, passing the software conformance testing hosted by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). “The Antelope release reflects this, for example, in security enhancements in Neutron and Glance, the hardware enablement advancements in Cyborg, and the recertification of Magnum as a Kubernetes orchestrator. Now more than a decade old and oft-praised for its “boring” stability, OpenStack is alive and thriving, with more than 40 million cores in production and over 300 public cloud data centers worldwide running the software. With the support of over 110,000 individuals in 187 countries, the OpenInfra Foundation hosts open source projects and communities of practice, including infrastructure for AI, container native apps, edge computing and datacenter clouds.
