The RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of the
RDO build for OpenStack Pike for RPM-based distributions, CentOS Linux 7
and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RDO is suitable for building private,
public, and hybrid clouds. Pike is the 16th release from the OpenStack
project, which is the work of more than 2300 contributors from around
the world.
The release is making its way out to the CentOS mirror network, and
should be on your favorite mirror site momentarily.
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 Pike release include:
* Ironic now supports booting from Cinder volumes, rolling upgrades and

* We added OVN support to Packstack.
* We added support to install the Horizon plugins for several services
in Packstack.

Getting 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.
https://www.rdoproject.org/install/packstack/
For a production deployment of RDO, use the TripleO Quickstart and
you'll be running a production cloud in short order.
https://www.rdoproject.org/tripleo/
Finally, if you want to try out OpenStack, but don't have the time or
hardware to run it yourself, visit TryStack, where you can use a free
public OpenStack instance, running RDO packages, to experiment with the
OpenStack management interface and API, launch instances, configure
networks, and generally familiarize yourself with OpenStack. (TryStack
is not, at this time, running Pike, although it is running RDO.)

Getting Help
The RDO Project participates in a Q&A service at ask.openstack.org, for
more developer-oriented content we recommend joining the rdo-list
mailing list. Remember to post a brief introduction about yourself and
your RDO story. You can also find extensive documentation on the RDO
docs site.
The #rdo channel on Freenode IRC is also an excellent place to find help
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
in the RDO venues.
Getting Involved
To get involved in the OpenStack RPM packaging effort, see the RDO
community pages and the CentOS Cloud SIG page. See also the RDO
packaging documentation.
Join us in #rdo on the Freenode IRC network, and follow us at
@RDOCommunity on Twitter. If you prefer Facebook, we're there tooi (
