In addition it stopped sales of copies of the platform. OpenStack Cloud 9, a basis for which OpenStack Rocky and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 12 SP4 formed, was the last, the version of the platform released several months earlier. It was the first which was integrated with HPE Helion OpenStack. SUSE purchased this cloud asset of HPE with three years before.
