The OpenStack movement is about to release Grizzly, the seventh and latest release of the open source infrastructure cloud platform for building public, private and hybrid clouds.
Among other things it was on time. The widgetry is on an every six-month release schedule.
The changes made were across virtualization, storage, networking, security and systems engineering and are supposed to solve not only complex cloud problems, but drive the entire technology industry forward.
The initiative’s contributors are reportedly up 45% in the last six months and Grizzly is supposed to deliver the broadest support for Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and enterprise technologies, SDN being the latest techno-craze.
