EVERY OPENSTACK VERSION SUPPORTED

Each upstream OpenStack version comes with new features that may bring
measurable benefits to your business. We recognise that and provide full support
for every version of OpenStack within two weeks of the upstream release. Every
two years we release an LTS version of Charmed OpenStack which we support for
five years.


SECURE, COMPLIANT, HARDENED

Canonical provides up to ten years of security updates for Charmed OpenStack
under the UA-I subscription for customers who value stability above all else.
Moreover, the support package includes various EU and US regulatory compliance
options. Additional hardening tools and benchmarks ensure the highest level of
security.


UPGRADES INCLUDED, FULLY AUTOMATED

OpenStack upgrades are known to be painful due to the complexity of the process.
By leveraging the model-driven architecture and using OpenStack Charms for
automation purposes, Charmed OpenStack can be easily upgraded between its
consecutive versions. This allows you to stay up to date with the upstream
features, while not putting additional pressure on your operations team.


CARRIER-GRADE PRIVATE CLOUD

Of all market sectors, telecommunications companies typically have the highest
requirements in terms of infrastructure stability, security and resilience.

Charmed OpenStack meets those requirements.
