Hi Adam - The OS of the guest is independent of the Openstack version. Your choice of hypervisor (KVM, VMWare, HyperV, etc) would just need to support the OS version that you want to run on your guests.

I.e. if I'm running a mitaka cloud platform, do the guest vm operating systems need to be a specific version of Linux? My understanding is the two are totally unrelated when the VM's are running Linux but I wanted to check if things have recently changed without my knowledge. //adam _______________________________________________ OpenStack-operators mailing list OpenStack-operators at lists.openstack.org<mailto:OpenStack-operators at lists.openstack.org> http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-operators -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
