Canonical announces the first MicroCloud LTS release
Today, Canonical announced the availability of MicroCloud’s first long term support (LTS) release. MicroCloud is part of Canonical’s cloud infrastructure portfolio. As the publisher of Ubuntu, Canonical is known for providing Ubuntu LTS releases every two years in April. With the addition of a MicroCloud LTS, Canonical expands its commitment to long term support for organizations looking for a scalable virtualization solution for edge and low-touch clouds.
MicroCloud LTS Demo
Canonical MicroCloud’s 2.1.0 LTS release features support for single-node deployments, improved security posture, and more flexibility during the initialization process. In this video we guide you through the new process, starting with deploying a MicroCloud on a single node, and then expanding with two additional members for a highly available cluster. Follow along and try it yourself.
What is a MicroCloud?
A MicroCloud is a new lightweight, featureful, and straightforward cloud for on-demand computing at the edge. MicroClouds differ from IoT which uses thousands of single machines or sensors to gather data, yet does not perform computing tasks. Instead, MicroClouds reuse proven cloud primitives with unattended, autonomous, and clustering features that resolve typical edge computing challenges.
Measuring The Scale Of AWS Data Center Locations Worldwide
In 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) pioneered cloud computing as we know it today. With about 34% of the market share, Amazon Web Services remains the largest cloud infrastructure provider today, followed by Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). AWS is a Cloud Service Provider (CSP). That means AWS builds, maintains, and continually improves multiple data centers worldwide and then rents the computing infrastructure to other companies over the Internet as needed.

Navigating multi-cloud database deployments with MySQL for maximum uptime
Public cloud providers offer convenient services for database deployments. However, depending solely on a single provider’s database-as-a-service can result in vendor lock-in and reduce your system’s resilience against widespread outages affecting the provider. Instead, explore our approach to deploying MySQL across multiple clouds. A multi-cloud database strategy enables you to retain control of your infrastructure while enhancing overall resiliency and leveraging the unique strengths of each cloud provider.

17+ Critical SaaS Metrics To Monitor For Success
If your gross margin is lower than 60-90%, you have a weaker SaaS margin than you’d want. This margin can turn away investors, limiting the amount of capital you can raise to fund growth. Here’s the deal. It may not be a revenue issue. It may be that you are not monitoring the right SaaS metrics. The result: you are probably spending too much. You are probably also unaware of whether this reflects growth or simply overspending, thus ruining your budget and ROI.
