The HPE Helion Public Cloud is one of several OpenStack public clouds that generously donate compute, network, and storage resources to power the OpenStack Developer Infrastructure. As you may know, HPE is sunsetting the HPE Helion Public Cloud on January 31st 2016[1]. Use of HPE Helion Public Cloud resources by the OpenStack Infrastructure system will be discontinued this Friday, January 29th. This will have an impact on the number of compute nodes available to run gate tests and as such developers may experience longer wait times. Efforts are underway to launch an OpenStack cloud managed by the OpenStack infrastructure team with hardware generously donated by Hewlett-Packard Enterprise. Among other outcomes, the intention is for this private cloud to provide a similar level of capacity for use by the infrastructure system in lieu of the HPE Helion Public Cloud. The infrastructure team is holding an in-person sprint to focus on this initiative next month in Fort Collins CO February 22nd - 25th[2][3]. For more information about the "infra-cloud" project, please see http://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/infra-cloud.html If your organization is interested in donating public cloud resources, please see http://docs.openstack.org/infra/system-config/contribute-cloud.html Last, but not least, a huge thank you to HPE for their support and continued commitment to the OpenStack developer infrastructure project.
