Juju is a development and O & M tool similar to Puppet or Chef for those who have not tried it. Although working at a higher level, it aims to simplify the setup and maintenance of cloud services.

All these development and O & M programs have only one purpose, so that developers can get rid of the heavy workload of setting and managing standard servers and servers on the cloud. That's why Jorge Castro, a Canonical Director of Development Relations, says Juju is designed to remove trivial work.

Canonical and Microsoft said that with Juju support on Windows Azure, you can now deploy more than 100 services on Windows Azure Ubuntu. Juju's built-in service relationships make it easy and quick to automatically operate cloud platform infrastructure. To achieve the best user experience, Juju uses the Simple Stream cloud data to automatically identify the latest Windows Azure Cloud Images released in a specific region, that is, you no longer need to worry about the image ID and the update of the latest published image.

This is not just publicity. I have used Juju to manage cloud services myself. Although it is on OpenStack rather than Azure, I found it works quite well. More importantly, Juju charms can efficiently save system administrators time, allowing them to set up common network-based applications, such as document management systems, Tomcat Java servers, and blog systems, this kind of boring work is freed.
