Ensemble - now called Juju, Ubuntu's Cloud

Ensemble: service orchestration for the cloud (my work for Ubuntu Server)  - via Jim Baker

Jim and I spent some time chatting this weekend because he's in the Swamp for an Ubuntu conference. I have not read this article yet, but it is about Ensemble, Jim's work with Ubuntu. Check it out if you are interested and let us know what you learn. 

 

Quick update - Ensamble has been renamed Juju - see info here:

Why juju?

I just attended a seminar today at the Ubuntu Developer's Summit being held at The Caribe Royal about the ubuntu cloud.

Happy 10th year, JCertif!
