Canonical
on 30 September 2016


Welcome to our September edition. This month, We begin with Canonical introducing enterprise support for its own distribution of Kubernetes across public clouds and private infrastructure. Next up we give you a preview of what you can expect from us in Barcelona at the OpenStack Summit. We have details of our expanding partnership with IBM announcing that Ubuntu OpenStack is the only commercial solution available across all IBM platforms. We also announced another partnership with a big data provider, BigStep. If you couldn’t make it to the Juju Charmer Summit then you can catch up on all of the sessions by visiting our Juju YouTube channel. And finally, don’t miss out on our round up of industry news.

Canonical expands container portfolio with supported distribution of Kubernetes

 

Canonical this week launched its own distribution of Kubernetes, with enterprise support, across a range of public clouds and private infrastructure. The Canonical Distribution of Kubernetes enables enterprise customers to operate and scale Kubernetes clusters on demand, anywhere. Leveraging Canonical’s existing Juju Charm eco-system, the Canonical Distribution of Kubernetes adds extensive operational and support tooling but is otherwise a perfectly standard Kubernetes experience, tracking upstream releases closely.

Visit our new Juju container topic page for more container solutions.

Join us in Barcelona at the OpenStack Summit

We’ll be in Barcelona, from the 25th – 28th October, for the OpenStack Summit – where we are planning a host of activities from interesting booth demos, our own dedicated sponsor track day, a selection of charm schools and more. Read the blog.
