In our last intro to Modeling with Juju post we didn’t pay any attention to the hardware needed to run our workloads. We ran with Juju default values for what the hardware characteristics of the cloud instances should be. Rather than define a bunch of YAML about each machine needed to run the infrastructure, Juju picks sane defaults that

Welcome to the seventh Ubuntu OpenStack development summary! This summary is intended to be a regular communication of activities and plans happening in and around Ubuntu OpenStack, covering but not limited to the distribution and deployment of OpenStack on Ubuntu.

A few years ago, the simplest method to deploy and operate Kubernetes on Ubuntu was with conjure-up. Whether the substrate is a public cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc) private virtualized environments (VMware) or bare metal, conjure-up will allow you to quickly install a fully functional, production-grade Kubernetes. But what if you wanted to

USB devices in containersIt can be pretty useful to pass USB devices to a container. Be that some measurement equipment in a lab or maybe more commonly, an Android phone or some IoT device that you need to interact with.Similar to what I wrote recently about GPUs, LXD supports passing USB devices into containers. Again, similarly to the G

GPU inside a container LXD supports GPU passthrough but this is implemented in a very different way than what you would expect from a virtual machine. With containers, rather than passing a raw PCI device and have the container deal … Continue reading →
