Powered by OpenStack™, SUSE Cloud is an open source enterprise cloud computing platform that enables easy deployment and seamless management of an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) private cloud.
To receive support, customers need an appropriate subscription with SUSE; for more information, see http://www.suse.com/products/server/services-and-support/.
Technology previews are packages, stacks, or features delivered by SUSE. These features are not supported. They may be functionally incomplete, unstable or in other ways not suitable for production use. They are mainly included for customer convenience and give customers a chance to test new technologies within an enterprise environment.
Whether a technical preview will be moved to a fully supported package later, depends on customer and market feedback. A technical preview does not automatically result in support at a later point in time. Technical previews could be dropped at any time and SUSE is not committed to provide a technical preview later in the product cycle.
Please, give your SUSE representative feedback, including your experience and use case.
Ceph/RADOS and the respective Crowbar Barclamp for deploying it is to be considered a technology preview in SUSE Cloud 1.0.
OpenStack Quantum packages included on the SUSE Cloud 1.0 ISOs are not supported.

Crowbar is not yet FHS-compliant.
Removal of barclamps from a node do not necessarily shut down associated services or remove associated packages. This means that you may well run into problem if moving barclamp roles from one node to another. Manual remediation may be required in these cases.

Sometimes Crowbar may report a node as Ready while it's actually rebooting. Applying a proposal to a node in this state will fail. Once the node is up again, click Apply on the failed proposal again to make it succeed.
