Mirantis 6.0 does not support the upgrade of OpenStack itself, but it does upgrade the Fuel Master. An upgraded Fuel Master can DEPLOY new environments (6.0) while continuing to manage OLDER environments such as 5.1. We will be releasing functionality to deliver Mirantis OpenStack patches from a Mirantis-hosted repository in 6.1.

We will also provide an upgrade GUIDE for in-place upgrade of environments in the 6.1 timeframe. The upgrade guide is limited and will not cover all deployment configurations. We are taking a careful, pragmatic approach to document a process for upgrade, test it, and IDENTIFY gaps. In our 7.0 RELEASE, we plan to expand the coverage of upgrade and deliver tooling to support the process. Upgrade of Contrail-based deployments will not be supported by the upgrade guide.
