Hi All,

The Ubuntu OpenStack team at Canonical is pleased to announce the general
availability of OpenStack Ocata on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS via the Ubuntu Cloud
Archive. Ocata is the latest release of OpenStack and the first in the new
OpenStack release cadence, with a focus on stabilization of existing
features along with usability improvements. Details of the Ocata release

Migration considerations

--------------------------------

* API’s now running under apache2 with mod_wsgi

In Ocata we’ve updated the following APIs to run under apache2 with
mod_wsgi: aodh-api, barbican-api, ceilometer-api, cinder-api, and the
nova-placement-api. Please keep this in mind as the packages will no longer
install systemd unit files for these services, and will instead install
apache2 with corresponding apache2 site configuration.

* libvirt 2.5.0 changes

In this release of libvirt, the libvirt-bin systemd service has been
renamed to libvirtd, and the unix_sock_group has changed from libvirtd to
libvirt.

* openstack-dashboard changes

In Ocata we’ve moved static assets from
/usr/share/openstack-dashboard/static to
/var/lib/openstack-dashboard/static.

Known Issues
