As we’ve mentioned before, Ubuntu is the world’s most popular operating system for OpenStack. OpenStack is, in fact, built on Ubuntu, and its cycles of development are based on Ubuntu’s release schedules. In the public cloud, Ubuntu as a guest OS has also proven to be the developers’ choice, with roughly two-thirds share of VMs on ...
Canonical is delighted to sponsor ContainerCon 2015, a Linux Foundation event in Seattle next week, August 17-19, 2015. It’s quite exciting to see the A-list of sponsors, many of them newcomers to this particular technology, teaming with energy around containers. From chroots to BSD Jails and Solaris Zones, the concepts behind containers ...
It’s a topic many people don’t like to think about: backups. In addition to making sure your cloud environments are correctly deployed, highly available, secured and monitored, you need to make sure they are backed up for disaster recovery purposes. (And no, replication is not the same as backups.) Canonical’s IS team is responsible for ...

More importantly, it’s how the cloud solves the problem of quick machine deployment in fast-paced business environments – provisioning a new PC in minutes. But what if y ...

How do we make sure Ubuntu offers the best possible ecosystem of both hardware and software components for OpenStack? Chris Kenyon talks about how we’re driving quality into the OpenStack deployment journey in the latest of our OpenStack Summit keynotes. As the cloud landscape matures, enterprise customers are looking for cost-effective, ...
Benchmarking and performance are interesting problems, especially in today’s growing cloud-based microservice scene. It used to be a question of “how does this hardware compare to that hardware,” but as computing and service-oriented architectures grow the question has evolved. How does my cloud and application stack handle this? It’s no ...
