OpenStack Features
Feature documentation for OpenStack in CMP — what the OpenStack adapter supports today, what is on the roadmap, and links to setup / package docs after the orchestrator is connected.
Need to connect OpenStack? Start with Orchestrator Setup — OpenStack.
CMP uses a single OpenStack adapter against the standard OpenStack REST APIs (Keystone, Nova, Neutron, Cinder, Glance, and related services such as Octavia or Magnum when present). The same integration covers Upstream OpenStack, RHOSP, Canonical Charmed OpenStack, and VHI — see Supported platforms.
Supported features
These capabilities are available in the CMP OpenStack integration today.
