“The Essex release has a strong focus on cloud stability as a
result of a release cycle change. The OpenStack Diablo release came
out in September 2011 after a short release cycle. With Essex, the
OpenStack community has moved to a six-month release cycle,
providing more time for quality assurance and bug fixing.“We really expanded the QA cycle out in Essex to make thing
solid and stable, coming out of this release cycle,” Jonathan
Bryce, chairman of the Project Policy Board for OpenStack told
InternetNews.com. “As result, people have been much happier with
the state of where things are.”
