I would say it depends on your experience with OpenStack.
You can probably go for folsom-3... Till you find your way around, final release should be out and you can use it in production.
(It's only a month or so away, and believe me, it will take you that time to install it, get to know it, and test if it suits your production scenario.)
Just keep in mind, it's kind of development branch.

We are done with our POC on essex. But if are about to proceed to production, it will be done on Folsom once it is out. (there are still lot of things to test till it's out)
I have no experience with upgrades so far (one of the things to be tested), so I can't tell you how hard it is. I can imagine it really depends on your particular buildup.

Hi,

So you're suggesting I should install from source. Which branch/tag should I use? branch stable/essex? tag folsom-3?

And also I'm worrying about upgrading and/or migration. Is it expensive to adopt a newer version of openstack?
