OpenStack advances with Suse OpenStack Cloud 6 and Mirantis OpenStack 8.0

Suse and Mirantis, key backers of the OpenStack cloud computing framework, have released new versions of their enterprise-grade distributions based on Liberty, the most recent update of OpenStack. Suse is touting high availability and non-disruptive upgrades as part of the build, while Mirantis is focusing on stability for customers. OpenStack Liberty, the 12th release of the open source cloud computing project, was released by the OpenStack community in October, but it has taken time for firms offering enterprise-grade services and support based on OpenStack to incorporate the changes into their own offerings.
