Open source cloud computing platform OpenStack -- backed by NASA and Rackspace -- announced a second release codenamed "Bexar," offering stability enhancements, IPv6 support, internationalization, and more hypervisors. Meanwhile, Canonical will bundle OpenStack in its upcoming Ubuntu Linux 11.04, and announced a separate cloud-related deal with OpenStack partner Dell.

Canonical also publicly announced it will support OpenStack, another open-source cloud operating system, backed by Rackspace and NASA, in Ubuntu 11.04, Server Edition, expected in April.
