A few days ago, Canonical announced that its Ubuntu Linux operating system is being upgraded and has made significant improvements to the private cloud.

Canonical said that in October 29, the Ubuntu 9.10 server version will be available for free download, and the new version will be applied to UEC (Ubuntu enterprise cloud. UEC is an open-source Cloud computing environment. It is the same as Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud, Elastic Computing Cloud), and is based on APIs (application interface. Enterprises will benefit from the private cloud.

"In essence, the new version is dedicated to cloud computing ." Steve George, head of support and service at Canonical, said. With the help of Ubuntu 9.10, users can use the cloud computing kernel, including flexibility and resource sharing, to build a cloud computing environment using hardware.

You can set up 10 to 15 private servers and use the same application interfaces on Amazon EC2 to obtain the same functions as Amazon. George says applications can take Amazon's "Cloud" off and switch to the user's own private cloud. Or vice versa.

UEC is a combination of a series of cloud computing technologies, including the Eucalyptus project. This project provides an open-source system and can combine existing software and hardware environments into a hybrid cloud. Canonical says UEC can easily deploy and manage cloud environments.

The Eucalyptus project attracted strong interest from analyst Stephen o'grady.

"The development of Eucalyptus is the most interesting topic for the release of server computing power, because it makes private cloud compatible with Amazon and VMware ." O 'Grady said.

The code used before Ubuntu 9.10 is "karmic Koala". It can also be used as a graphics machine in the Macon EC2 environment for interaction with the cloud environment. The image interface of UEC is the same as that of Ubuntu AMI. It can be uploaded to other machines after work in one environment.

The storage capability of UEC is sufficient for users to deploy new applications immediately in the Ubuntu enterprise cloud environment.
