Fedora 17 Takes to the Cloud
By Joab Jackson , IDG News
The newest release of the Red Hat-sponsored Fedora Linux distribution includes a number of
technologies that haven't made their way into Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) yet,
including a new version of the OpenStack cloud platform, code-named Essex, that the
company plans to adopt in future editions of its flagship distribution.
Fedora 17, released Monday, also includes the latest version of the Gnome -- version 3.4
-- as the default user interface.
Overall, this release contains an unusually substantial number of new features, programs
and improvements, said Robyn Bergeron, Fedora project leader. "We have a new release
every six months. Sometimes there are fewer features, but I think this release has the
largest number of new features we've ever had," she said.
