Businesses that will be relevant in 2020 will be those
who can cost effectively harness data and compute
to:
● Bring new services to market rapidly
● Interact with customers via any device
● Use shared resources to cater for peaks
● Use data to create greater value products and
services
6. Cloud use cases
1. Variable workloads – web, mobile
applications
2. Transient applications – dev/test/POC
3. Distributed data compute – Hadoop, Cassandra
clusters etc..
7. No 1 in Cloud
● No 1 host for OpenStack
Clouds
● No 1 guest in AWS
● No 1 Linux guest on Azure
8. Ubuntu and OpenStack
● The simplest way to deploy an OpenStack cloud
● Ubuntu Server is the reference platform for
OpenStack deployments
● Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS is a long term term
release that will support future releases of
OpenStack
● Tremendous effort has gone into the integration
and testing of OpenStack in Ubuntu to create
Ubuntu Cloud Infrastructure
9. Testing
● Code landing in OpenStack trunk is tested on
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS within 4 hours
● Full tests of all milestones, betas, release
candidates and final releases.
● Available to you to test in your environment
almost immediately

your bare metal machines
● Keeping the software up to date and in
compliance
● Scaling the deployment on demand
● Administration of the core components
18. Challenges of Deploying
Workloads
● Deploying the virtual machines
● Deploying the software required to run
the service
● Inter-relating the services to work
together
● Exposing the service to be available to
the users
● Scaling services on demand
20. Benefits to Developers & Ops
