CNE has been updated with the following enhancements:

• Virtualized CNE. OC-CNE can be deployed on an OpenStack virtual infrastructure as well. The automated installation procedures will use OpenStack to create the virtual resources needed to host OC-CNE, and then deploy OC-CNE on those instances.
• DB Tier metrics stored in Prometheus. DB Tier metrics are collected from the DB Tier and stored in Prometheus, along with all of the other CNE metrics.
• Bare metal installation automation. The advanced installation automation used in a virtualized CNE deployment is now available for bare metal deployments as well. Once the bare metal servers are installed and initialized, much of the deployment is automated.
