Introduction to OpenStack cloud in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server provides access to Ubuntu Cloud, an Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS) platform based on OpenStack. As a cloud technology for public or private deployments, OpenStack has become immensely popular due to its speed, its flexibility and the fact that it is entirely open source.

With a unique, user friendly user interface and hundreds of productivity-enhancing features, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS provides a much more cost-effective alternative to proprietary desktop software. Whether you need to provide native desktop apps, remote applications or virtualised desktops to thin clients, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS represents the perfect desktop platform for many businesses.

Canonical is a sponsor of Mil-OSS LANT, hosted in Charleston SC. The event will focus on Open Source initiatives championed and support by SPAWAR Atlantic, industry partners and other government agencies. Topics of discussion include Cloud computing, Mobile development, Crowd Sourcing, and other initiatives benefiting from and contributing to the open source community. Hear from industry and government speakers, including Martin Stadler, Director of Global Support & Services at Canonical.

Computex is the largest show in Asia, and the world's leading ICT event for the 31st year. It's also Taiwan's largest export exhibition, using 5 venues and hosting an exhibition with largest number of international buyers (36,000).Canonical will be exhibiting at the show.

In this webinar we discuss how open-source technologies in general, and Ubuntu Cloud in particular, can help companies avoid frustrating vendor lock-in and stay in control of their own cloud destinies. We will also explore Ubuntu’s unique attributes, looking at how it minimises hardware and software costs, accelerates cloud deployment, and supports dynamic service provisioning and scaling.

Accelerated provisioning through IAAS has put the spotlight on friction in the deployment, configuration and management of services. This friction can only be overcome via a change in emphasis, from configuring machines to connecting services that can then be scaled independently. In other words, service orchestration. With Juju, services can be deployed, connected, upgraded and re-used by defining them as Juju charms. Encapsulating service intelligence in charms enables you to separate deep service-specific skills from broad operations management skills.
