RedHat announced the launch of OpenStackPlatform5 on RHEL, the third enterprise release based on OpenStack open source cloud. This version not only develops some new features, but also targets a large number of users, such as cloud users, telecom enterprises, Internet service providers (ISPs), and public cloud service providers.

OpenStack Platform 5 is based on the latest Openstack Icehouse release, and has made a lot of modifications and Optimizations to cloud computing technologies.

This latest release has a three-year technical support cycle. I chose to use it because Redhat has unparalleled technical support for users on Linux systems, redhat's technical support service for its OpenStack Platform 5 will be one of the key factors driving enterprise purchase.

There is no final conclusion on whether RedHat will support other releases of OpenStack. However, an OpenStack user survey shows that 90% of OpenStack developers did not use OpenStack on RHEL, instead, we chose Ubuntu or CentOS Linux and Its virtualization technology.

The latest features of OpenStack Platform 5:

Support integration with VMware InfrastructureThe structure includes virtualization, management, network, and storage. Users generally use VMware vSphere resources that are already in use, such as virtualization drivers as computing nodes of OpenStack (Nova), and then use the upper-layer OpenStack Dashboard (Horizon) to manage nodes. Similarly, RHEL OpenStack Platform 5 also supports the NSX plug-in of VMware and manages the network as OpenStack NetWorking (Neutron). It supports the existence of VMware Virtual Disks (VMDK) as plug-ins, used as an OpenStack Block Storage (Cinder.

We have made better arrangements for the use of cloud resources.Server groups allow computing to be distributed to the service nodes of the OpenStack cloud, which makes distributed applications more elastic and can reduce communication latency and improve computing performance for complex applications.

Better support for virtual machines and encryption to meet information security requirements of the United States and BritainYou can use the semi-virtualized random number generator provided in RHEL 7 to add this tool to your program to improve the encryption quality and performance.

Improve protocol stack interoperabilityRedHat claims that Neutron's new modular network technology will simplify the deployment of OpenStack. This technology will allow users to deploy multiple network solutions in OpenStack to solve access to heterogeneous networks.

Redhesh Balakrishnan, General Manager of the virtualization and OpenStack product lines of RedHat, said:

"We see an increasing number of enterprise-level users or service providers choosing OpenStack as a private cloud Platform. RHEL OpenStack Platform 5 is not just an open stack Icehouse-based product, but we have also developed many easy-to-use features, enhances product reliability. In the next three years, we will let users see that the functions and technical support services provided by RHEL OpenStack Platform 5 will safeguard their deployed applications, let users have confidence in our products.

I bet you, the three-year technical support service will be the key point for enterprise users to choose red hat in the highly competitive cloud platform field. Furthermore, there is no doubt that RedHat puts its future on cloud computing and OpenStack Platform.
