The OpenStack Charms team is happy to announce the 20.05 charms release, introducing support for OpenStack Ussuri and Ceph Octopus on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. This release also brings several new and valuable features to the existing OpenStack Charms deployments for Queens, Rocky, Stein, Train, Ussuri and many other stable combinations of Ubuntu + OpenStack. Please see the Release Notes for full details: https://docs.openstack.org/charm-guide/latest/2005.html == Highlights == * OpenStack Ussuri OpenStack Ussuri is now supported on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (via UCA) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS natively. * Ceph Octopus The Octopus release of Ceph is now supported, starting with OpenStack Ussuri. * New charms: MySQL 8 The MySQL 8 charms (mysql-innodb-cluster and mysql-router) have been promoted to supported status. These charms allow for a completely native cloud database HA cluster (no need for the hacluster charm). The legacy solution (percona-cluster charm) is not supported on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Migration documentation is available. * New charms: Masakari The Masakari charms (masakari and masakari-monitors) and the requisite pacemaker-remote charm have been promoted to supported status, starting with OpenStack Stein. Masakari provides automated recovery of OpenStack instances (shared storage required). * New charms: OVN The OVN charms (neutron-api-plugin-ovn, ovn-central, ovn-chassis, and ovn-dedicated-chassis) have been promoted to supported status. OVN provides virtual networking for Open vSwitch and is the preferred default for new deployments of OpenStack Ussuri. * Ceph iSCSI Ceph iSCSI gateway functionality is available as a tech preview. These gateways provide iSCSI targets backed by a Ceph cluster. == OpenStack Charms team == The OpenStack Charms team can be contacted on the #openstack-charms IRC channel on Freenode. == Thank you == Lots of thanks to the below 67 charm contributors who squashed 89 bugs, enabled support for a new release of OpenStack, improved documentation, and added exciting new functionality!
