“Can I use Snappy Ubuntu Core on the Raspberry Pi?” is one of the most frequently asked questions we heard since launching Ubuntu Core for smart devices. Thanks to a very successful collaboration between the Raspberry Pi Foundation and Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, we are pleased to announce that Snappy Ubuntu Core is available fo

This month, we had some news on Snappy, MAAS and Mojo, but also the results to our annual cloud survey are in! If that was not enough, find out more about our event plans over the next few weeks and sign up for our latest webinar! Here’s a quick recap of an exciting start to 2015. “Snappy”

Canonical ran its sixth annual Ubuntu Server and Cloud Survey at the end of 2014. The survey aims to provide an overview of the enterprise cloud market, including emerging and changing trends, current challenges and technology preferences. It also tracks the adoption of OpenStack and Ubuntu as well as public cloud usage. This year, the

In the design team we keep some projects in Launchpad (as canonical-webmonkeys), and some project in Github (as UbuntuDesign), meaning we work in both Bazaar and Git. The need to synchronise Github to Launchpad Some of our Github projects need to be also stored in Launchpad, as some of our systems only have access to

From months to one week: How IIJ is shipping OpenStack Clouds quicker with MAAS and Juju Technologies that enable companies to move quickly in the cloud are continuing to gain traction. When we heard that the Internet Initiative Japan (IIJ) were using OpenStack, MAAS, and Juju to develop quick-to-deploy entire datacentres in shipping cont

Here in the design team we use both Bazaar and Git to keep track our projects’ hostory. We quite often end up coverting our projects from Bazaar to Git or vice-versa. Here are some tips on how to do that. To convert revision history between Git and Bazaar, we will use their respective fast–import features.

During the last season’s holidays, I spent some time cleaning up demos and code that I use for my daily activities at Canonical. It’s nothing really sophisticated, but for me, and I suspect for some others too, a small set of scripts makes a big difference. In my daily job, I like to show live

When we launched snappy Ubuntu Core, we introduced it on Microsoft Azure, Google Compute Engine, Amazon’s AWS and our KVM images. Immediately, developers were asking questions like, “where’s the Vagrant image?”, which we launched on 14 January 2015. The one final remaining question was “where are the images for ?”. We h

Last month, Canonical announced snappy Ubuntu Core, the new, transactional version of Ubuntu, designed for public clouds. So far, snappy Ubuntu Core images are available on Microsoft Azure, Google Compute Engine, and Amazon AWS. Today, we are delighted to announce the addition of Vagrant images to this impressive line-up [1, 2]. These ima

In Canonical’s IS Department we use Juju for service orchestration. It’s a great tool for quickly spinning up complex services, tying them together and scaling them out or in as needed. We use it for everything from the ubuntu.com website itself to click-packages, the system that underpins the Ubuntu phone. We even use it to

Hear what our partners have to say. A primary reason for Ubuntu’s success is an active, and growing ecosystem of partners that work with us to build cloud solutions. This is no accident. We recognize the importance of partner solutions, and have worked diligently to provide programs and support to ensure that an Ubuntu based
