Today, the only graphical tool that is reliable for configuring Samba is Yast, but this is exclusive to openSUSE and SUSE, so in other distributions one is forced to configure the server working directly with the configuration file, Which is much less friendly.
Nexenta and Canonical have announced a joint solution that pairs Nexenta’s software-defined storage with Canonical’s Ubuntu OpenStack platform: NexentaEdge.
This new solution delivers high performance object and block storage services with Juju, a service model for automating the deployment and management of applications. This joint release allows Ubuntu customers to leverage NexentaEdge and provides seamless integration with Canonical OpenStack clouds.
LXD, the container-based hypervisor lead by Canonical, beats KVM in density and speed. The company published benchmarks showing that LXD runs guest machines 14.5 times more densely and with 57% less latency than KVM.
The target platform for this analysis was an Intel server running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. The testing involved launching as many guest instances as possible with competing hypervisor technologies, LXD and KVM.
Canonical announced a three year partnership with Ericsson to drive innovation around IT cloud and telecom cloud solutions, the latter in line with OPNFV. The move will help both organizations respond to increasing demand from telecoms companies and enterprises for more flexible, scalable options to meet the ever-growing appetite for new services.
Under the terms of the partnership, Ericsson will deploy Ubuntu as the host OS for Ericsson’s Cloud System platform. Ubuntu Server OS will underpin Ericsson’s offering for its telecommunications network, internal data center and cloud computing customers; giving customers flexibility and assisting the global adoption of OpenStack-based cloud technologies.
