MultiSite - multiple OpenStack Versions Tacker Site 1 – (OpenStack controller) Site 2 - (OpenStack Controller) Site 3 - (OpenStack Controller) Operators have multiple OpenStack VIMs with different OpenStack versions Detect KeyStone and HOT version and translate accordingly Gracefully downgrade resource requests on older VIMs Kilo Liberty Mitaka

Multiple VIM types … coming soon Tacker Site 1 – OpenStack Site 2 - VMware Site 3 - AWS Support more Infra Drivers to orchestrate on VMware, public clouds like AWS and even Custom VIM types Site 4 - Custom
