RDO Dalmatian 2024.2 released!

The RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of the RDO build for OpenStack 2024.2 Dalmatian! Dalmatian is the 30th release from the OpenStack project, which is the work of more than 1,000 contributors from around the world.

The release is already available for CentOS Stream 9 on the CentOS mirror network in:

https://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/cloud/x86_64/openstack-dalmatian/

The highlights of the broader upstream OpenStack project may be read via https://releases.openstack.org/dalmatian/highlights.html.

OpenStack Dalmatian is not marked as Skip Level Upgrade Release Process or SLURP. According to this model this means that upgrades will only be supported from the Caracal 2024.1 release to the next SLURP release (i.e Epoxy).

RDO Dalmatian 2024.2 has been built and tested with the recently released Ceph 18.2.0 Reef version which has been published by the CentOS Storage SIG in the official CentOS repositories.
