The following table contains a list of OpenStack services deployed in MetaCentrum Cloud. Services are separated into two groups based on their stability and the level of support we are able to provide. All services in the production group are well tested by our team and are covered by the support of cloud@metacentrum.cz. To be able to support a variety of experimental cases we are planning to deploy several services as experimental, which can be useful for testing purposes, but its functionality won’t be covered by the support of cloud@metacentrum.cz.
