Read what’s new and exciting with Juju, containers and our partner ecosystem and get in touch if you want to learn more!
Ubuntu OpenStack Fundamentals Training
New training courses have been announced! The Ubuntu OpenStack Fundamentals Training course is an intensive 3-day, hands-on classroom-based course of lectures and lab work, taking place in various cities around the world. The course has been designed by the experts in our Cloud Engineering team to be the best introduction for setting up and running Ubuntu OpenStack clouds.
The next available training courses will be in Amsterdam, Chicago and Washington, D.C.! Early bird rates are still available, hurry up and book your seat.
Juju Workshops 2015
We are delighted to bring Juju closer to your city, in a series of workshops, where you will deploy a choice of services from our outstanding charm store. Whether your interest is in Big Data, Containers, OpenStack, Benchmarking or the most commonly used SOA solutions, there is a charm for you to deploy.
Workshops now available in Reston, VA, New York, NY and Chicago, IL.

Docker, Juju, and Snappy Ubuntu Core
Learn how easy it is to run a Docker image inside either a Juju charm or an Ubuntu snap. Dustin Kirkland, part of our Product and Strategy team, explains how mprime makes a fine example of how to package a service into a Docker container, a Juju charm and a Snappy snap.
Juju Updates
Congratulations to the Kubernetes project and community, on releasing version 1.0 to the public! Over the past six months we’ve had a small team of “container people” working to make sure that we could deliver the best Kubernetes experience on the first day of the version 1.0 release! Read up to find out what you can do today with Juju.
Partner ecosystem highlights
The Charm Partner Programme welcomed the following new partners in June: Meteorite BI, Incubio, QuasarDB and Azul. Expect to see their solutions appearing in the Charm Store in the coming months!
Our first webinar on ISV’s who have charmed their software was a success, with over 170 attendees and great feedback from those who attended. You can still watch it on demand! Look out for a Big Data themed webinar coming up in September.
