Description
Ubuntu powers the cloud as the most used operating system in those environments. It's a ubiquitous OS, with many different offerings across all the major clouds. Canonical partners with cloud providers to create the best experience possible.
Enough marketing jargon -- What really is a cloud image? Who makes them? How often do they update? Why? You don't really have 3000 Jenkins jobs, do you?
This talk focuses in on the who, what, when, where, why, and how of cloud images
- who builds them?
- what's inside them that makes them different than an ISO install of an Ubuntu server?
- When do they publish and why?
- Where are they built?
- Where do they get deployed?
- WHY DO YOU HAVE 3000 JENKINS JOBS?!?
- How do you get the best experience possible?
- How do I(the community) contribute to cloud images?
We'll hit the big points, especially questions we get so often:
- cloud tuned kernels?
- LTS or HWE kernels? Why the rolls?
- What are specific packages installed?
- what's a "daily" vs. a "release"
- Do you test your images? How?
- How and where to open bugs!
- How to contribute ideas for future Cloud Images
