Today when I was walking the floor at the Cloud Expo here in New York, I ran into fellow Austinite Dustin Kirkland.  Dustin is the manager for systems integration team for Ubuntu.  I got Dustin to give me the low down on the most recent UDS (Ubuntu Developer Summit) that concluded a few weeks ago in Budapest:

Some of the ground that Dustin covers

• The big areas of focus on the server side coming out of Budapest
• Getting behind OpenStack as the Ubuntu IaaS platform
• [1:09] The pioneering work they’ve done with Eucalyptus and how its use case differs from that of OpenStack
• [2:05] The Ensemble project, a service orchestration framework for the cloud which is the brainchild of Mark Shuttleworth.
• [3:59] Ubuntu Orchestra for cloud installation, provisioning and configuration management (using Puppet)

Extra-credit reading

• Talking to Canonical’s KVM Kid — Dustin Kirkland

Pau for now…
