2022 was a hugely successful year for the Apache CloudStack community. We collaborated on a successful major release - Apache CloudStack 4.17 bringing a bunch of new capabilities and improvements, as well as created multiple new CloudStack integrations. As well as this, the community created two minor releases as part of the LTS programme.

The community also held two successful conferences, one of which being the first in-person CloudStack Collaboration Conference since the pandemic. The new &"Year in Review" blogs series encourages us to reflect on the community’s achievements, and thus lets us brainstorm the ways we will further develop Apache CloudStack in all facets in the new year.
