Juju — multi-cloud orchestration

With the option of a command line or browser-based interface, Juju enables you to design and deploy entire workloads in just a few clicks. It works on public clouds like AWS and Microsoft Azure, private clouds built on OpenStack and even directly on bare metal, via MAAS.

MAAS — bare metal provisioning

MAAS is a time-saving provisioning system which makes it quick and easy to set up the physical hardware to deploy complex services, like Ubuntu's OpenStack cloud infrastructure. Just plug in your fun88体育s, connect them to the network and let MAAS do the rest.

LXD — machine containers

Economics are directly tied to compute density. LXD, the Linux container hypervisor, merges the speed and density of containers with the manageability and security of traditional virtual machines.
