Enterprises face the challenge of consistently deploying and managing applications in production, at scale. Fortunately, there are more technologies and tools available today than ever before. However, transitioning from a traditional, monolithic architecture to a cloud native one comes with its own unique challenges. Below, you will find a list of the critical first steps … Continued

RDO Xena Released
The RDO community is pleased to announce the general availability of the RDO build for OpenStack Xena for RPM-based distributions, CentOS Stream and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. RDO is suitable for building private, public, and hybrid clouds. Xena is the 24th release from the OpenStack project, which is the work of more than 1,000 contributors from around the world.
The release is already available on the CentOS mirror network at http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/cloud/x86_64/openstack-xena/.
The RDO community project curates, packages, builds, tests and maintains a complete OpenStack component set for RHEL and CentOS Stream and is a member of the CentOS Cloud Infrastructure SIG. The Cloud Infrastructure SIG focuses on delivering a great user experience for CentOS users looking to build and maintain their own on-premise, public or hybrid clouds.
All work on RDO and on the downstream release, Red Hat OpenStack Platform, is 100% open source, with all code changes going upstream first.
PLEASE NOTE: RDO Xena provides packages for CentOS Stream 8 only. Please use the Victoria release for CentOS Linux 8 which will reach End Of Life (EOL) on December 31st, 2021 (https://www.centos.org/centos-linux-eol/).
Interesting things in the Xena release include:
The python-oslo-limit package has been added to RDO. This is the limit enforcement library which assists with quota calculation. Its aim is to provide support for quota enforcement across all OpenStack services.
The glance-tempest-plugin package has been added to RDO. This package provides a set of functional tests to validate Glance using the Tempest framework.
TripleO has been moved to an independent release model (see section TripleO in the RDO Xena release).
The highlights of the broader upstream OpenStack project may be read via https://releases.openstack.org/xena/highlights.html
TripleO in the RDO Xena release:
In the Xena development cycle, TripleO has moved to an Independent release model (https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/tripleo-specs/specs/xena/tripleo-independent-release.html) and will only maintain branches for selected OpenStack releases. In the case of Xena, TripleO will not support the Xena release. For TripleO users in RDO, this means that:
RDO Xena will include packages for TripleO tested at OpenStack Xena GA time.
Those packages will not be updated during the entire Xena maintenance cycle.
RDO will not be able to included patches required to fix bugs in TripleO on RDO Xena.
The lifecycle for the non-TripleO packages will follow the code merged and tested in upstream stable/Xena branches.
There will not be any TripleO Xena container images built/pushed, so interested users will have to do their own container builds when deploying Xena.

The Next Release Cycle
At the end of one release, focus shifts immediately to the next release i.e Yoga.
Get Started
To spin up a proof of concept cloud, quickly, and on limited hardware, try an All-In-One Packstack installation. You can run RDO on a single node to get a feel for how it works.
Finally, for those that don’t have any hardware or physical resources, there’s the OpenStack Global Passport Program. This is a collaborative effort between OpenStack public cloud providers to let you experience the freedom, performance and interoperability of open source infrastructure. You can quickly and easily gain access to OpenStack infrastructure via trial programs from participating OpenStack public cloud providers around the world.
Get Help
The RDO Project has our users@lists.rdoproject.org for RDO-specific users and operators. For more developer-oriented content we recommend joining the dev@lists.rdoproject.org mailing list. Remember to post a brief introduction about yourself and your RDO story. The mailing lists archives are all available at https://mail.rdoproject.org. You can also find extensive documentation on RDOproject.org.
The #rdo channel on OFTC IRC is also an excellent place to find and give help.
We also welcome comments and requests on the CentOS devel mailing list and the CentOS and TripleO IRC channels (#centos, #centos-devel in Libera.Chat network, and #tripleo on OFTC), however we have a more focused audience within the RDO venues.

Integrating your social media presence with your WordPress.com website has never been easier. We offer many options and tools that are available on all plans, at no additional cost. Whether you want to auto-share your website posts to a social media platform, display your social media posts on your website, provide links to your various accounts, or encourage your website visitors to share your content, we’ve got what you need to connect with your audience.
Posting to Social Media
All WordPress.com plans include Publicize, a feature that lets you automate posting to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Tumblr. When you set up and configure these social media accounts to your site, every new post you publish will automatically post to the platforms you’ve selected. This is a great way to repurpose your website content on your social channels, reach your audience where they already are, and drive traffic to your site.
It’s important to note that Publicize cannot push posts to Instagram since Instagram doesn’t allow auto-posting from third-party services. However, if you’re on the Business plan or ecommerce plan, then you could consider using a third-party automation tool such as Buffer or Hootsuite, both of which can be connected to your WordPress.com site using plugins. There may be other tools that offer this feature as well, though you’ll want to research their limitations and plans to learn more.*
*Please note that third-party tools and plugins are outside the scope of WordPress.com support.
Social Media Feeds on Your Site
Another option that WordPress.com offers is displaying your social media platforms on your website. You can add widgets, blocks, or feeds to your WordPress.com site to display posts from your social media accounts in real-time. This can help you stay connected with your audience when they’re taking a break from social media, but still checking your site.
WordPress.com offers built-in features for displaying your social media feeds from Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and TikTok, to name a few. We also provide a number of support documents to help walk you through the options for these embedding features.
Social Media Menus
You can also strengthen the cross-connection between your website and your social media platforms with the addition of social media menus. Many WordPress.com themes offer a dedicated Social Menu that allows you to connect your site to various social media platforms and display their respective icons on your site.
If your theme doesn’t offer this menu option, you can still create social media-style menus using our Social Icons Block. This ensures that your audience knows how to easily find you on your preferred social media platforms.
Social Sharing
Last but not least, don’t forget to enlist your visitors to share the love from your website to their social accounts by setting up WordPress.com’s Social Sharing option.
This feature allows you to choose which social platforms you want to encourage your visitors to spread the word by providing a Share button on every piece of content you publish. Nothing connects your audience more than the ability to share.
WordPress.com provides you with multiple built-in tools to make your website the centralized hub for connecting and integrating with your social media platforms—at no additional cost—so you can connect to your audience smoothly and seamlessly, all while driving traffic to your WordPress.com website.
WordPress.com will be hosting a live special topic webinar on Tuesday, February 22, 2022 at 19:00 UTC. Join our WordPress experts to learn all of the essential tips to integrate social media with your website and how to add Link in Bio pages to your website. Register for free today!
