RDO Victoria ReleasedThe RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of the RDO build for OpenStack Victoria for RPM-based distributions, CentOS Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RDO is suitable for building private, public, and hybrid clouds. Victoria is the 22nd release from the OpenStack project, which is the work of more than 1,000 contributors from around the world.The release is already available on the CentOS mirror network at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/cloud/x86_64/openstack-victoria/.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.PLEASE NOTE: RDO Victoria provides packages for CentOS8 and python 3 only. Please use the Train release, for CentOS7 and python 2.7.Interesting things in the Victoria release include:
With the Victoria release, source tarballs are validated using the upstream GPG signature. This certifies that the source is identical to what is released upstream and ensures the integrity of the packaged source code.
With the Victoria release, openvswitch/ovn are not shipped as part of RDO. Instead RDO relies on builds from the CentOS NFV SIG.
Some new packages have been added to RDO during the Victoria release:
ansible-collections-openstack: This package includes OpenStack modules and plugins which are supported by the OpenStack community to help with the management of OpenStack infrastructure.
ansible-tripleo-ipa-server: This package contains Ansible for configuring the FreeIPA server for TripleO.
python-ibmcclient: This package contains the python library to communicate with HUAWEI iBMC based systems.
puppet-powerflex: This package contains the puppet module needed to deploy PowerFlex with TripleO.
The following packages have been retired from the RDO OpenStack distribution in the Victoria release:
The Congress project, an open policy framework for the cloud, has been retired upstream and from the RDO project in the Victoria release.
neutron-fwaas, the Firewall as a Service driver for neutron, is no longer maintained and has been removed from RDO.

You can run RDO on a single node to get a feel for how it works.For a production deployment of RDO, use 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. 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 HelpThe RDO Project has our users@lists.rdoproject.org for RDO-specific users and operators.
