The RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of the RDO build for OpenStack Rocky for RPM-based distributions, CentOS Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RDO is suitable for building private, public, and hybrid clouds. Rocky is the 18th release from the OpenStack project, which is the work of more than 1400 contributors from around the world.
The release already available on the CentOS mirror network at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/cloud/x86_64/openstack-rocky/
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. 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, is 100% open source, with all code changes going upstream first.

New and Improved
Interesting things in the Rocky release include:
New neutron ML2 driver networking-ansible has been included in RDO. This module abstracts management and interaction with switching hardware to Ansible Networking.
Swift3 has been moved to swift package as the “s3api” middleware.
Other improvements include:
Metalsmith is now included in RDO. This is a simple tool to provision bare metal machines using ironic, glance and neutron.

The Next Release Cycle
At the end of one release, focus shifts immediately to the next, Stein which has a slightly longer release cycle due to the PTG Summit co-location next year with an estimated GA the week of 08-12 April 2019. The full schedule is available at https://releases.openstack.org/stein/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 01-02 November 2018 for Milestone One and 14-15 March 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. 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 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. 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@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@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 Freenode IRC is also an excellent place to find and give help.
We also welcome comments and requests on the CentOS mailing lists 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, peruse the CentOS Cloud SIG page, and inhale the RDO packaging documentation.
