Ensemble: service orchestration for the cloud (my work for Ubuntu Server) http://fewbar.com/2011/06/so-what-is-ensemble-anyway - 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:
The emergence of cloud computing has reduced the task of server provisioning down to minutes, from days. Juju is the next evolutionary step. It reduces the task of provisioning and control of service applications in the cloud down to seconds, from hours. |

Yes, Bradlee - the conference is a planning meeting for upcoming releases of Ubuntu. Thanks for sharing your experiences. /Michael
I just attended a seminar today at the Ubuntu Developer's Summit being held at The Caribe Royal about the ubuntu cloud.
The developers were all huddled in the middle of the room and discussing the next steps on implementing the cloud. Most of the discussion seemed to revolve around promoting the ubuntu cloud and updating the documentation pages of the cloud.ubuntu.com website.

For us at National Grid, the solution came through four complementary paradigms that worked together to enable different forms of decoupling.
