OpenStack® Ocata, as one platform to integrate and manage virtual machines, bare metal and containers

I have a pleasure to recall that, the Ocata release cycle was a one-time, shorter cycle focused on stabilization, including scalability and performance of the core compute and networking services. Ocata also brought greater support for container-based application frameworks at the networking layer, as well as containerization of OpenStack services for easier deployment and upgrade management, treating OpenStack as a microservice application.
