Services for public cloud providers
Ubuntu Cloud
29
1. Ubuntu Cloud is open-source, with OpenStack for
infrastructure and the standard Ubuntu server as a guest,
making it easy to spin up unlimited server instances without
incurring additional costs.
2. Ubuntu Cloud is quick to deploy, thanks to tools like
Metal as a Service for bare metal provisioning, Awsome for
integrating OpenStack with Amazon Web Services and Juju
for service orchestration.
3. Ubuntu Cloud Guest is wildly popular in the public cloud,
with leading cloud providers like Amazon and Rackspace
offering it to their customers.
4. The same tools and infrastructure can be used for private
and public clouds, making hybrid cloud architecture practical.
5. Ubuntu Cloud is compatible with a wide range of hardware,
with certified products from all the major server makers
and unrivalled experience on the ARM platform.
6. Ubuntu Cloud will be supported for five years,
because it is part of Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS.
7. Commercial support is available in the form of Ubuntu
Advantage, and covers IP assurance, compliance reporting,
technical support and management solutions.
8. Ubuntu is backed by Canonical, a global software vendor
and service provider with staff in over 30 countries.
9. You can try Ubuntu Cloud easily, thanks to trial offers from
Canonical including Ubuntu Cloud Jumpstart and a free hour
on Amazon EC2.
