NEW OPENSUSE IMAGE!
Hello everybody,
As you may have noticed, a new Image has appeared under System Images. And yes, it is openSUSE! Many of our users had asked if we could provide an official openSUSE image, so there you have it!
~okeanos-global now supports openSUSE all the way, which means there are also official packages of the kamaki command-line client and the snf-image-creator tool for the ~okeanos-global advanced users.

Or a cluster of 100 VMs in a few minutes?
