The 20.02 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, and many other stable
combinations of Ubuntu + OpenStack.

https://docs.openstack.org/charm-guide/latest/2002.html

== Highlights ==

* New charm: manila-ganesha
There is a new charm to support Ganesha for use with Manila and
CephFS: manila-ganesha. This charm, as well as the requisite manila
and ceph-fs charms, have been promoted to supported status.

* Swift global cluster
With OpenStack Newton or later, support for a global cluster with
Swift is available as a tech preview.

* OVN
With OpenStack Train or later, support for integration with Open
Virtual Network (OVN) is available as a tech preview.

* MySQL8
With Ubuntu 19.10 or later, support for MySQL 8 is available as a tech preview.

* New charms: watcher and watcher-dashboard
There are two new charms to support Watcher, the resource optimization
service for multi-tenant OpenStack-based clouds: watcher and
watcher-dashboard. This is the first release of these charms and they
are available as a tech preview.

* Policy overrides
The policy overrides feature provides operators with a mechanism to
override policy defaults on a per-service basis. The last release
(19.10) introduced the feature for a number of charms. This release
adds support for openstack-dashboard and octavia charms.

* Disabling snapshots as a boot source for the OpenStack dashboard
Snapshots can be disabled as valid boot sources for launching
instances in the dashboard. This is done via the new
'disable-instance-snapshot' configuration option in the
openstack-dashboard charm.
