The Ubuntu OpenStack team is pleased to announce the general availability of OpenStack 2015.1.0 (Kilo) release in Ubuntu 15.04 and for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS via the Ubuntu Cloud Archive.

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

You can enable the Ubuntu Cloud Archive for OpenStack Kilo on Ubuntu 14.04 installations by running the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository cloud-archive:kilo sudo apt-get update

The Ubuntu Cloud Archive for Kilo includes updates for Nova, Glance, Keystone, Neutron, Cinder, Horizon, Swift, Ceilometer and Heat; Ceph (0.94.1), RabbitMQ (3.4.2), QEMU (2.2), libvirt (1.2.12) and Open vSwitch (2.3.1) back-ports from 15.04 have also been provided.

Additionally Trove, Sahara, Ironic, Designate and Manila are also provided in the Ubuntu Cloud Archive for Kilo. Note that Canonical are not providing support for these packages as they are not in Ubuntu main – these packages are community supported inline with other Ubuntu universe packages.

You can checkout the full list of packages and versions here.

NOTE: We’re shipping Swift 2.2.2 for release – due to the relatively late inclusion of new dependencies to support erasure coding in Swift, we’ve opted not to update to 2.3.0 this cycle in Ubuntu.

NOTE: Designate and Trove are still working through the Stable Release Update process, due to some unit testing and packaging issues, so are lagging behind the rest of the release.

Ubuntu 15.04

No extra steps required; just start installing OpenStack!

Neutron Driver Decomposition

Ubuntu are only tracking the decomposition of Neutron FWaaS, LBaaS and VPNaaS from Neutron core in the Ubuntu archive; we expect to add additional packages for other Neutron ML2 mechanism drivers and plugins early during the Liberty/15.10 development cycle – we’ll provide these as backports to OpenStack Kilo users as and when they become available.

Reporting bugs

Any issues please report bugs using the ‘ubuntu-bug’ tool:

sudo ubuntu-bug nova-conductor

this will ensure that bugs get logged in the right place in Launchpad.

Thanks and have fun!
