The 20.08 release of the OpenStack Charms is now available. This release brings several new features to the existing OpenStack Charms deployments for Queens, Rocky, Stein, Train, Ussuri, and many stable combinations of Ubuntu + OpenStack.

Please see the Release Notes for full details:

https://docs.openstack.org/charm-guide/latest/2008.html

== Highlights ==

* New charm: neutron-api-plugin-arista

There is a new supported subordinate charm that provides Arista switch ML2 plugin support to the OpenStack Neutron API service: neutron-api-plugin-arista.

* New charms: Trilio

The Trilio charms (trilio-data-mover, trilio-dm-api, trilio-horizon-plugin, and trilio-wlm) have been promoted to supported status. These charms deploy TrilioVault, a commercial snapshot and restore solution for OpenStack.

* New charm: keystone-kerberos

The keystone-kerberos subordinate charm allows for per-domain authentication via a Kerberos ticket, thereby providing an additional layer of security. It is used in conjunction with the keystone charm.

* MySQL InnoDB Cluster TLS communication

TLS communication between MySQL InnoDB Cluster and its cloud clients is now supported. Due to the circular dependency between the vault and mysql-innodb-cluster applications, this is a post-deployment feature.

* Gnocchi S3 support

The gnocchi charm can now be configured to use S3 as a storage backend. This feature is available starting with OpenStack Stein.

* Charm cinder-ceph supports a new relation

When both the nova-compute and cinder-ceph applications are deployed a new relation is now required. This should not affect most currently deployed clouds.

* Glance Simplestreams Sync

The glance-simplestreams-sync charm now installs simplestreams as a snap. As such, the 'channel' configuration option should be used in place of the ‘source’ option.
