The OpenStack community released Xena on the 6th of October, the 24th version of the most largely deployed open-source cloud infrastructure software. Over the span of just 25 weeks, almost 15,000 changes authored by over 680 contributors from over 125 different organizations were included in the Xena release. Highlights of the new release include support for new hardware features, improved integration among components and projects to strengthen open infrastructure for cloud-native applications and reduction of technical debt to maintain OpenStack’s stable and reliable core.
OpenStack is one of the most active open-source projects in the world, supported by a vibrant and engaged global community. This release comes at a time when the OpenStack project is deployed in production more widely than ever. 2021 OpenStack User Survey revealed that OpenStack deployments have grown from hundreds of cores to 6 million cores; over 100 new OpenStack based clouds have been built in the past 18 months, and the total number of cores managed under OpenStack amounts to more than 25,000,000 cores.
