Oracle has announced support for customers to use OpenStack cloud software with Oracle Linux and Oracle VM.
Users can install this OpenStack technology preview in their test environments with the latest version of Oracle Linux and the beta release of Oracle VM 3.3.
Customers can use Oracle Linux as the base operating system for OpenStack deployments where they can take advantage of the advanced patching capabilities of Oracle Ksplice.
OpenStack services such as compute, network, and storage management, can be downloaded from the Oracle Public Yum Server and Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN).
Oracle Linux and Oracle VM customers who deploy the product release of this OpenStack distribution can also benefit from Oracle’s enterprise-class support experience.
