As originally planned, Canonical will launch a Linux-based desktop and Server Release next Thursday (Beijing time Friday. At the OpenStack Conference held in Boston this week, Canonical CEO Jane Silber said, "although it has not been officially released yet, there are many highlights that deserve our attention now ,"

According to the introduction, the latest OpenStack cloud software Diablo will be released at the same time as Ubuntu 11.10. The latest Ubuntu version "is very suitable for Big Data workloads," said Silber.

In the past few years, the ARM architecture has been rapidly developed and popularized, as more and more manufacturers have begun to produce low-power tablet computers with built-in ARM chips. For example, Microsoft announced that its next generation of Windows desktop OS-Windows 8 tablet would adopt the ARM architecture.

In terms of servers, ARM is far less popular than individual consumer markets. Microsoft has no plans to port Windows Server OS to the ARM architecture.

But Silber also admitted that the ARM version of Ubuntu may not be perfect. "I know no one has built a cloud based on the ARM architecture, but it is a very promising architecture. We are very proud to become the first vendor in the industry to bring another ecosystem to the open-source field. It has epoch significance ."

In addition, she presented an open-source tool called JuJu, which was developed by Canonical to automatically enable and disable OpenStack-based cloud services. JuJu can "package" jobs running on machines for administrators.

You can also think of the software package service. on Ubuntu, the daily tasks of these packages can be played by the Administrator as you like, because the daily tasks are the same.
