[New Release] Octavia Amphora V2 is now supported and enabled by default with Atmosphere

Experience enhanced reliability in load balancing — in the latest Atmosphere release Octavia Amphora V2 is now supported and seamlessly integrated by default, resolving long hanging issues with load balancer provisioning interruptions due to service or network failures.

We are pleased to announce the latest release, which brings an important update to the load balancing capabilities integral to Atmosphere. This enhancement significantly reinforces network operations, guaranteeing continuous service. The introduction of the Amphora V2 provider driver specifically addresses and resolves the longstanding issue of load balancer provisioning becoming stalled due to service or network disruptions. 

Octavia Amphora V2 is now supported and enable by default with Atmosphere.   The Amphora V2 provider driver improves control plane resiliency. Should a control plane host go down during a load balancer provisioning operation, an alternate controller can resume the in-process provisioning and complete the request. This solves the issue with resources stuck in PENDING_* states by writing info about task states in persistent backend and monitoring job claims via job board. 

Additionally, we've made Amphora V2 the default load balancing provider, simplifying the user experience on OpenStack. There's no need for any additional operations—users can now effortlessly take advantage of the Amphora V2 provider support for their load balancers, streamlining their workflows and enhancing overall productivity. 

The advancements introduced are reflective of our commitment to continuous enhancement and diligent upkeep of the platform.  We encourage our users to follow the progress of Atmosphere and leverage the full potential of these updates.
