OpenStack Rolls Out Juno [Health & Beauty Close - Up](Health & Beauty Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) The tenth release of OpenStack is available now. According to a media release, the latest release of the open source cloud software, called Juno, adds enterprise features such as storage policies, a new data processing service that provisions Hadoop and Spark, and lays the foundation for OpenStack to be the platform for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), a transformation driving improved agility and efficiency in telco and service provider data centers. The Juno release continues a trend for OpenStack in which the project's twice-annual releases have focused on stability, operational improvements and performance, reflecting the growing number of users who are running OpenStack in production. This latest release adds a new data processing service to the suite of cloud capabilities, including Compute, Object and Block Storage, Networking, Orchestration, Identity and Database Services. All services are available through open APIs and a web-based Dashboard. The new data processing capability automates provisioning and management of big data clusters using Hadoop and Spark. Also new in this release, storage policies for Object Storage give users more control over cost and performance within their storage environment. Storage policies allow enterprise deployers and application developers to decide how they want to store, replicate and access data across different backends and geographical regions. Top companies contributing code to the Juno release were Red Hat, HP, IBM, Mirantis, Rackspace, SUSE, OpenStack Foundation, B1 Systems, VMware, NEC and independents. Top users contributing code included Yahoo!, Time Warner Cable and eBay. The next release of OpenStack, called Kilo, is expected April 30, 2015. The next OpenStack Summit takes place November 3-7 at Le Palais des Congres in Paris, France. OpenStack is an open source software for building public and private clouds.
