Service Orchestration with Ubuntu in the Cloud (Sponsored Tutorial)

The intended audience are people who wither deploy software in the cloud or maintain/write a project that runs in the cloud. In this talk we’ll discuss how the complications of today’s software requires us to think at a higher level than just the machine instance. We need to think about the entire service as an entity, and manage it’s relationship with other services. So instead of worrying about individual instances the cloud requires us to think of “Wordpress” and “MySQL” as services that could encompass multiple instances and live in a dynamic environment that could include machines being added or removed based on load. How do we manage such complexity?

In Ubuntu we’ve been tackling this problem with a tool called juju, that lets us manage services that we run on the cloud with the same ease that apt-get brought to installing software.

Attendees are more than welcome to:

• Ask questions about juju and charms, we especially welcome projects that deploy on the cloud and want to make that easy for their end users.
• Discuss various solutions to scale problems with Ubuntu Cloud.
