Red Hat is out today with the first public preview release for its Enterprise OpenStack cloud distribution.

Red Hat CTO, Brian Stevens told Datamation that the first preview release is based on Essex OpenStack release. OpenStack Essex debuted in April of this year and benefited heavily from Red Hat’s contributions. While the preview released today is based on Essex, Steven noted that Red Hat will update to the upcoming Folsom release later this year.
