Canonical releases the new Ubuntu 12.04 Operating System (codenamed Precise Pangolin). IT staff only need to install solid and Ubuntu operating systems on an empty server, then, you can use the MAAS function to package system settings and deployment tools to deploy other servers online over the network.

Canonical released the new Ubuntu 12.04 Operating System (codenamed Precise Pangolin). Both the table and server versions are long-term supported versions (Long Term Support, LTS ), provides 5-year warranty services such as updates and technical support. That is to say, enterprises that import Ubuntu 2017 to the latest version every 2 years before January 1, 12.04 are free of charge, it can also use certification, asset security, standardized auditing, hardware support, and other services, which is more conducive to the adoption of large enterprises.

Every two years, Canonical will launch the Ubuntu Operating System of the LTS version, with the server version always providing a 5-year warranty and the desktop version starting from version 12.04, extend the warranty period from three years to five years to attract enterprises.

New Features of server version 12.04 include AWSOME plans for managing hybrid cloud environments and MAAS (Metal as a Service) features that allow enterprises to deploy a large number of server hardware environments at a time.

Currently, Amazon EC2 does not support Openstack, making it difficult for enterprises to simplify the management of hybrid cloud environments. Therefore, Canonical launched the AWSOME program and released APIs that can be translated into Openstack standards and Amazon EC2, allows IT personnel to use the same command to perform the same functions on different public cloud platforms, such as viewing all virtual machine image files and IP addresses.

The MAAS function packages the tools required by enterprises to deploy the underlying hardware of servers, including the operating system, solid state, and configuration files, so that enterprises can quickly copy these tools to other empty servers, in addition, this function does not limit the number of simultaneous deployments, which can speed up and simplify the deployment of a large number of enterprises.

Wu shanrong, a Canonical Ubuntu business engineer, said that IT staff only need to install solid and Ubuntu operating systems on an empty server, and then use the MAAS function to package system settings and deployment tools, you can deploy other servers online through the network.
