This new director combines multiple technologies to offer a single powerful tool which also establishes a new framework that can be used for live orchestrated OpenStack and director upgrades for version 7 and subsequent releases. All of this is based on the community-driven, OpenStack management project TripleO.

This simplifies hardware resources deployment and re-purposing on an on-demand basis. It does this with automated 'ready-state' bare-metal resources provisioning. Additionally it eases daily operational management and resource provisioning for cloud operators. This comes with system-wide health checking. It offers a simplified and automated cloud installation tool.

Simplified deployment and management: Cloud operators now have a simpler means of day-to-day operation management and resource provisioning with the new RHELOS director.

Specifically, Version 7 includes the following new features: Red Hat claims that this will simplify installation, ease day-to-day management tasks, and establish the underpinnings for orchestrated live system updates and subsequent release upgrades. With the new RHELOS, which is based on OpenStack Kilo, Red Hat has introduced a new deployment and management tool. Canonical, Mirantis, and Red Hat are all in the running, and Red Hat has just made its next move: the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform 7 (RHELOS). What's not so clear is which company will do the best job of turning it into an easy-to-use distribution or service. It's clear that OpenStack is the open-source infrastructure as a service (IaaS) cloud to beat.
