--- features: - Added RPC backward compatibility layer similar to the one implemented in Nova. This means that Cinder services can be upgraded one-by-one without breakage. After all the services are upgraded SIGHUP signals should be issued to all the services to signal them to reload cached minimum RPC versions. Alternative is of course restart of them. Please note that cinder-api service doesn't support SIGHUP yet. Please also take into account that all the rolling upgrades capabilities are considered tech preview, as we don't have a CI testing it yet. upgrade: - Starting from Mitaka release Cinder is having a tech preview of rolling upgrades support.
