Cloning SysAdmins with the Cloud and Juju

Its time to face the music: There’s only a couple guys in Ops, and a lot
of infrastructure to set up and it was all due yesterday. If only you could
clone all the sysadmins of the world to get all of their expertise and
know-how in deploying open source applications, you could actually get it
done. Perhaps there is a way: Juju and Charms! Juju encapsulates services
in a way that promotes sharing and collaboration the same way packages have
done for open source software. If you are a sysadmin or a developer who is
looking to get an infrastructure of databases, loadbalancers, and webapps
up to speed rapidly, Juju may be interesting. If you are looking into
deploying something massively scalable, like OpenStack or Hadoop, Juju is
built to handle that task.

Speaker: Clint Byrum is a member of the Canonical Ubuntu Server Team,
bringing years of Ops and Development experience in web environments to the
task of making Ubuntu Server shine.
