Nova is now using the new Neutron port binding API to minimize network
downtime during live migrations. See the `related spec
<https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/rocky/approved/neutron-new-port-binding-api.html>`_
for more details.
Improvements were made to minimize network downtime during live migrations.
In addition, the libvirt driver is now capable of live migrating between
different types of networking backends, for example, linuxbridge => OVS.

Volume-backed instances will no longer report ``root_gb`` usage for new
instances and existing instances will heal during move operations.
Handling of boot from volume instances when the Nova compute host does not
have enough local storage has been improved.

A ``nova-manage db purge`` command to `purge archived shadow table data
<https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/cli/nova-manage.html#nova-database>`_
is now available. A new ``--purge`` option is also available for the
``nova-manage db archive_deleted_rows`` command.
Operators can now disable a cell to make sure no new instances are
scheduled there. This is useful for operators to introduce new cells to the
deployment and for maintenance of existing cells.

It is now possible to `disable a cell
<https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/cli/nova-manage.html#nova-cells-v2>`_
to stop scheduling to a cell by using the
``nova-manage cell_v2 update_cell`` command.
Security enhancements were made when using Glance signed images with the
libvirt compute driver.

The libvirt compute driver now supports trusted image certificates when
using the 2.63 compute API microversion. See the `image signature
certificate validation
<https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/user/certificate-validation.html>`_
documentation for more details.
A ``nova-manage db purge`` command is now available to help operators with
maintenance and avoid bloat in their database.

The placement service now supports granular RBAC policy rules
configuration. See the `placement policy
