As you certainly know by now, Juno is here! The newest release of the OpenStack software was launched last week, with 342 new features and 3,219 bug fixes. The biggest new features include:

  • Sahara: data processing service for Hadoop and Apache Spark that automates the provisioning of big data clusters at scale.
  • Updated Swift Storage Policies: this gives users additional control for how they want to replicate and access data across different backends and geographical regions.
  • NFV support: this is the first release with initial support for NFV, with more to come.

Juno comes right before the upcoming OpenStack Summit in Paris, taking place November 3-7, 2014. By the numbers, the 10th OpenStack release was an impressive one. Over 1,400 unique contributions went into the latest version, with 133 different companies represented.
