Today when I was walking the floor at the Cloud Expo here in New York, I ran into fellow Austinite Dustin Kirkland. Dustin is the manager for systems integration team for Ubuntu. I got Dustin to give me the low down on the most recent UDS (Ubuntu Developer Summit) that concluded a few weeks ago in Budapest:
Some of the ground that Dustin covers
- The big areas of focus on the server side coming out of Budapest
- Getting behind OpenStack as the Ubuntu IaaS platform
- [1:09] The pioneering work they’ve done with Eucalyptus and how its use case differs from that of OpenStack
- [2:05] The Ensemble project, a service orchestration framework for the cloud which is the brainchild of Mark Shuttleworth.
- [3:59] Ubuntu Orchestra for cloud installation, provisioning and configuration management (using Puppet)
