RDO

RDO is an acronym with multiple meanings, depending on the context. In technology, two meanings are the most widely encountered.

RDO (OpenStack). RDO is a community-supported distribution of the OpenStack platform designed to run on RPM-based Linux distributions such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, and Fedora. It provides packaged OpenStack releases built from upstream OpenStack components and aims to make OpenStack easier to install, test, and develop against. RDO is community-driven and not tied to a single vendor, focusing on reproducible deployments and a stream of current OpenStack innovations for development and experimentation.

Remote Data Objects (RDO). RDO is a legacy Microsoft data access technology that offered an object-oriented interface for working with remote relational data, typically via ODBC. It was used in older Visual Basic environments and served as one of several approaches to remote data access before being superseded by ADO and later .NET data access technologies. RDO's emphasis was on simplifying remote database interactions within the Windows ecosystem of its era.

Other uses. Besides computing, RDO can stand for various organization- or project-specific acronyms in different fields. The intended meaning is usually determined by context, and the two definitions above are the most prevalent in technology discussions.
