OpenStack Mitaka software arrives as developers tease Newton release
As vendors scramble to update their OpenStack distributions based on the latest Mitaka release, developers are already teasing what’s in store for the next version of the cloud computing fabric, dubbed OpenStack Newton.
A number of vendors have already gotten their latest releases based on Mitaka out of the door, including Red Hat Inc. and Rackspace Inc. The latter released its updated private cloud distribution on Monday, labeling it a “managed services” platform rather than just a regular OpenStack platform due to its reference architecture based on the OpenStack-Ansible project that aims to add “security hardening” to the open-source software. Rackspace is clearly gunning for the more security-conscious among the OpenStack crowd, and took pains to emphasize in a whitepaper about the trade-off relating the application of more comprehensive security configurations and potential performance and availability issues.

Rackspace Private Cloud, Based on OpenStack, Arrives in New Version
OpenStack cloud computing distributions, many of them based on the latest Mitaka build of the OpenStack platform, are proliferating. With so many vendors competing in this arena, market consolidation is also underway.
Only days ago, Red Hat announced its latest platform: OpenStack Platform 9. Directly on the heels of that, VMware introduced VMware Integrated OpenStack 3. These distributions are based on the OpenStack Mitaka release. Now, Rackspace has rolled out version 13 of Rackspace Private Cloud powered by OpenStack. The new version addresses stability and security requirements for enterprise customers and is based on the Mitaka release.
Stability and security are points of focus for Rackspace because the OpenStack market is now competitive enough that each vendor participating needs to make clear what the competitive differentiators are. Rackspace is also, as usual, focused on "fanatical support."
