+    Adds support for automatic generation of certificates for Octavia via the
+    ``kolla-ansible octavia-certificates`` command.
+upgrade:
+  - |
+    Resources required for Octavia are now registered automatically by
+    default. Octavia users upgrading from Ussuri should set
+    ``octavia_auto_configure`` to ``no`` in ``globals.yml`` to avoid
+    registering conflicting resources.
