We are very proud to announce the 0.5 version of the Stackops Openstack Distro. This distro contains everything needed to deploy a Openstack Nova stack and has already been downloaded by more than 24000 users around the globe. This release is the last one based in the Stable branch of Diablo, and comes with some new components and features, some of them developed by Openstack community and some others developed by us and demanded by users. This release also comes with support for StackOps Enterprise Head-Manager. Head-Manager is the tool we use to deploy Production-ready Openstack clouds based on our distro. Now all users can test drive the tool in their own datacenters. To install the tool, you only need to follow the instructions here. You will need to contact our sales department for a free trial license.
