Changes for Openstack from Queens to Train

Changelog overview

The purpose of this upgrade is to take the OpenStack platform from the current “Queens” release to the “Train” release. This will include an intermediate upgrade to the “Rocky” release. The “Stein” release is skipped because it isn’t required.

  • No public APIs are deprecated by these upgrades

Deprecations and dropped support

APIs

None of the public OpenStack APIs will be deprecated by the planned upgrades.

TLS
