Hi,

This is to announce multiple things:

1) OpenStack/Loci (a project for building OpenStack images) is currently equipped with periodic jobs that are run nightly. 

These jobs build images for 3 most recent OpenStack releases:

- 2023.2 Bobcat

- 2024.1 Caracal

- 2024.2 Dalmatian

Images are published to these two destinations:

- docker.io/loci/* (which is known for its strict request rate limits)

- quay.io/airshipit/* (which is much more tolerant to the number of requests)

Images are tested before publishing with two basic deployment configurations:

- compute-kit (Deploy minimal set of OpenStack components to run VMs)

- cinder (Deploy Cinder with Ceph backend)

2) By default we are going to use Loci images published to the Quay registry [1]. All test jobs will be run with these images and this is also a recommendation for users to consume images from quay to mitigate possible rate limit issues.

3) OpenStack/OpenStack-Helm-Images project will build only non-OpenStack images. Primarily the motivation is to deduplicate the code base. Consequently, OpenStack images published nightly to docker.io/openstackhelm/* will not be updated after 2024.2.
