I am pleased to announce the general availability of the RDO build for OpenStack Liberty for CentOS Linux 7 x86_64, suitable for building private, public and hybrid clouds. OpenStack Liberty is the 12th release of the open source software collaboratively built by a large number of contributors around the OpenStack.org project space.

The RDO community project ( https://www.rdoproject.org/ ) curates, packages, builds, tests and maintains a complete OpenStack component set for RHEL and CentOS Linux and is a founding member of the CentOS Cloud Infrastructure SIG ( https://wiki.CentOS.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Cloud
). The Cloud Infrastructure SIG focus on delivering a great user experience for CentOS Linux users looking to build and maintain their own onpremise, public or hybrid clouds.

In addition to the comprehensive OpenStack services, libraries and clients, this release also provides Packstack, a simple installer for proof-of-concept installations, as small as a single all-in-one box and RDO Manager ( https://www.rdoproject.org/RDO-Manager ) , an OpenStack deployment and management tool for production environments based on the OpenStack TripleO project.
