Contributions To OpenStack From Canonical

Since 2011, we’ve included the latest version of OpenStack in every Ubuntu release, as well as made every OpenStack release available for our most recent long-term support Ubuntu release (LTS) in our unique Cloud Archive. All versions of Ubuntu are certified and supported.
