Four ways to get OpenStack on Ubuntu
Fully managed OpenStack on premises, by Canonical
Canonical’s Bootstack team will design, build and operate a production OpenStack cloud on your premises from only $15 per server per day. When your team is ready, we’ll transfer control of your cloud to them.
This is the recommended way to get to production quickly, enabling you to ramp your workloads efficiently and move beyond legacy virtualisation.
Consulting, Training and Enterprise Support
We will build you an OpenStack in three weeks
Canonical offers training, consulting and support. Our engineers will build your production OpenStack cloud, working alongside your team.
Tailor that OpenStack to your requirements with optional consulting services around networking, storage, hypervisors and cloud architecture.
Developer OpenStack — single or multiple machine
Use Canonical’s conjure-up installer with LXD containers to deploy a simulated multi-node OpenStack that is fast and lightweight. Ideal for first-time users or developers who want to see the various components of OpenStack in action.
Use it with MAAS (‘Metal as a Service’) to deploy across many servers and scale it to many racks.
Self-install a reference architecture OpenStack
Canonical’s OpenStack Autopilot is a fully automated deployment, management and operations tool for the hyper-converged OpenStack reference architecture. It is recommended for larger production deployments on homogenous hardware.
Some customisation is possible through manual placement of administrative, compute, network or storage services.
A selection of our OpenStack clients
Conjure-up OpenStack
Canonical’s conjure-up is an installer for complex topologies of interconnected software, like OpenStack and Kubernetes, or Hadoop. It works on Amazon, Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, Rackspace and private infrastructure - bare metal, LXD containers, VMware or OpenStack.
Want to try out Ubuntu OpenStack or Kubernetes for the first time? Start with conjure-up. Conjure-up is an open source command line tool written in Python. It uses ‘spells’ which describe the applications to deploy — modify, create and publish your own spells easily to share your reference architecture inside the organisation.
Build your own cloud with Canonical’s OpenStack Autopilot
The OpenStack Autopilot is the easiest way to build the reference architecture OpenStack cloud.
