Cloud deployment presents a new set of challenges for many organisations today:

How to rapidly deploy services and systems in response to changing business needs
How to manage large numbers of servers and the cloud services that run on them
How to control the increasingly interconnected services in an dynamic and even unstable environment

In response to these needs, Canonical – the team behind Ubuntu – developed Juju, a ground-breaking cloud orchestration and management tool.

Ubuntu Server is the leading operating system for scale-out deployments, whether web infrastructure, cloud or big data.
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS includes new technologies to handle the rapid deployment and management of scale-out infrastructure, so you can focus on scaling your workloads, rather than scaling your sysadmin team.
Join Francis Lacoste and Darryl Weaver from the Ubuntu Server team to learn about these new technologies and how they can help you benefit from the same infrastructure as the world’s leading web scale companies.

How Juju and Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS changes the way you deploy and manage applications.
There’s no doubt that new technologies like cloud and big data are having a dramatic effect on the speed with which organisations can respond to changing market conditions. However, to to take advantage of these new technologies, new deployment and provisioning tools are required – tools that are designed for elastic distributed environments.

With Juju, services can be deployed, connected, upgraded and re-used by defining them as charms. Encapsulating service intelligence like this helps to separate deep, service-specific knowledge from broader operations management skills.
In this webinar attendees are encouraged to:

Submit scripts and discuss how to turn them into charms
Request peer review on any charms in development
Ask questions about Juju, charms and service orchestration in general

Accelerated provisioning through IAAS has put the spotlight on friction in the deployment, configuration and management of services. This friction can only be overcome via a change in emphasis, from configuring machines to connecting services that can then be scaled independently. In other words, service orchestration.
With Juju, services can be deployed, connected, upgraded and re-used by defining them as Juju charms. Encapsulating service intelligence in charms enables you to separate deep service-specific skills from broad operations management skills.
