02 - OpenStack installation and deployment methods

Before deploying OpenStack, it’s important to know that each release has its own installation and maintenance guide, adapted to its components and features. OpenStack releases are published regularly and receive direct support for roughly 18 months. This means it’s best to plan deployments around stable releases with active support, rather than always opting for the latest release, which may contain early-stage issues. You can find official installation guides for each release in the OpenStack Install Guide and review all published versions along with their support schedule at OpenStack Releases.
