    Phoronix: Canonical Launches MicroCloud To Deploy Your Own "Fully Functional Cloud In Minutes"

    The latest software offering announced today by Canonical with an enterprise focus and their hopes of driving new Ubuntu Pro and support subscriptions is MicroCloud. Their MicroCloud software aims to make it easy to deploy a private cloud that is a "fully functional cloud in minutes" atop Ubuntu Linux...

    What do they mean by "scales up to 50 minutes"?

        Not worth the annoyance of removing the "Don't let APT packages sneakily try to delegate to Snap" rule I borrowed from Linux Mint.

          That's a limit of LXD. LXD is like Kubernetes. LXD is built around running containers on LXC. LXC, if you're not aware, is a container runtime similar to Docker.

          Scaling beyond 50ish nodes has been challenging for many projects. Around that number, internode communication can get tricky, as well as managing state in the control plane. Cassandra struggled (since fixed), Kubernetes struggled (since fixed), and Kafka is still capped at 50.

            Yes. Originally the it said "50 minutes" (it got corrected afterwards), that's what I was wondering about. 50 machines makes perfect sense.

              "fully functional cloud in minutes"

              is that what they call snap startup times?

                It looks like the bottom tier subscription is annually $25 dollars. I wish more Linux distributions considered such reasonable pricing to increase their revenue.
