Summary

As workloads for OpenStack-based clouds have evolved, so have the features provided by OpenStack Networking. VLAN-aware VMs, BGP speakers, and network availability zones are just a few of the advanced network features that have been introduced in Neutron over the last few release cycles and there are more to come in future releases. Used in tandem, these features can provide users with the ability to define rich network topologies and provide high-availability to a number of different applications and workloads in the cloud.

The release notes for OpenStack Networking are a great place to find information on recently released features as well as bug fixes for existing functions. To find the release notes for a given release, please visit the following URL: https://docs.openstack.org/releasenotes/neutron/index.html.
