OpenStack Upgrades with Minimal Downtime

Upgrades remain one of the biggest challenges in OpenStack environments. While initial deployment usually isn’t much of a problem for cloud operations teams, upgrading production environments to the latest version can be a nightmare. As a result, some OpenStack vendors haven’t been even supporting upgrades for years. At the same time, Canonical customers have been benefiting from automated upgrades from the early days of Charmed OpenStack.

During this exciting event OpenStack experts from Canonical: Tytus Kurek and Alex Kavanagh will discuss the latest improvements around the upgrade experience in Charmed OpenStack and demonstrate how to upgrade a production cloud with minimal downtime.
