Note(s):

  • OpenStack releases are commonly referred to by their development codename. Each successive release increments alphabetically (B follows A... and so on).
  • The below matrix indicates whether or not a particular feature is supported, and additionally the first release of OpenStack that it is supported in.
  • Indication of a particular capability in Folsom or later connotes Cinder support. Essex or prior refers to support for Cinder's predecessor, nova-volume.
  • Rows are ordered alphabetically and are not intended to specify precedence.
  • Drivers listed in this support matrix are all merged upstream in the OpenStack github. If a driver is not available under https://github.com/openstack/cinder/tree/master/cinder/volume/drivers, please do NOT add to this matrix!
