Ubuntu 16.0 released with Full Container Support, Telco Grade OpenStack & Networking latency enhancements..

LONDON 13th October 2016: Ubuntu, the platform used in the majority of cloud deployments worldwide, today released version 16.10 with hybrid cloud operations, bare-metal cloud performance, the ability to lift-and-shift 80% of Linux VMs to machine containers, Kubernetes for world-leading process-container coordination, full container support in OpenStack, and telco-grade networking latency enhancements.

Network performance is a primary focus of this release, with updated versions of Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK), OpenVSwitch (OVS) and virtualization technologies, all able to handle critical application traffic for lower latency and greater throughput. Ubuntu 16.10 and the corresponding updates to Ubuntu 16.04 LTS further enhance Ubuntu’s position as the leading private cloud infrastructure operating system, with OpenStack Newton, DPDK, enhanced OpenVSwitch and LXD machine containers alongside regular KVM based VM guests.

So that implies, No more manual DPDK installation, Recompile initrd to enjoy DPDK.. It's all built-in.. by default now.. 

Also Refined "Auto Pilot" - part of LandScape it self, 

which helps you to build "Fresh OpenStack Cloud effortlessly"..
