If you are looking for a small-scale cloud deployment suitable for the edge, chances are you came across Canonical’s Micro cloud solution. These are small-footprint clusters of compute nodes with distributed storage and secure networking, optimised for repeatable and reliable remote deployments. We are happy to announce that with the help of snaps and some clever engineering, we have significantly simplified the deployment process and now you can deploy your own micro cloud with a single command in just a few minutes. We invite users to test it out and give feedback. Read on for more details or skip to the video to see it in action.
Best of open-source ingredients
In essence, a micro cloud is cloud-ish but small enough to be localised. It includes a cluster of compute nodes for running your workloads along with distributed storage and networking. It has the same experience and functionality as larger clouds, but a smaller footprint and easier maintenance. Micro cloud…
