Abstract

These are the release notes for the OpenStack Essex Preview.

Red Hat OpenStack is a collection of services that can be used to provide Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

The Red Hat OpenStack Preview is fully supported for use with the AMQP messaging provided by Apache Qpid. The RabbitMQ messaging service driver is included, but Red Hat cannot provide direct technical support for this driver.

The Red Hat OpenStack Preview is only supported for use with the libvirt driver, using KVM as the hypervisor on Nova compute nodes. Red Hat is unable to provide support for other Nova virtualization drivers, or non-KVM libvirt hypervisors.

The Red Hat OpenStack Preview is only supported for use with the MySQL database driver. The PostgreSQL database driver is also included and although not yet supported, Red Hat would like feedback on any deployment successes and problems, with a view to providing full support in a future release.

For more in-depth documentation about the configuration and administration of more complex installations, please see http://docs.openstack.org.
