The latest version of the platform adds a refined long-life support lifecycle, comprehensive feature consolidation and a new commitment to delivering continuous community innovation as enterprise-ready features via stream releases. The platform combines the OpenStack community releases of “Rocky”, “Stein” and “Train” along with the best of Red Hat OpenStack Platform versions 14 and 15.
Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16 is designed to help organizations standardize and remain on a single version of the platform for up to five years.
