AKANDA ?
Akanda has transferred the PTL role of OpenStack Astara back to its parent company, DreamHost.

The former Akanda team members will continue to support Astara in new roles in the OpenStack community and interest in deploying Astara remains strong in the OpenStack community.
PROJECT ASTARA ?
Astara is introducing the over-the-top paradigm to network services. Use the network you have. Choose the network services you want. No more vendor lock-in. Astara is the only open source network orchestration solution built by OpenStack operators for real OpenStack clouds.

Astara is layer 2 agnostic and interfaces with the OpenStack Neutron REST APIs. Astara includes a sophisticated lifecycle management and orchestration platform to monitor, configure, and manage 3rd party virtualized routers, load balancers and firewalls. Read more ...
