What OS are you deploying on EC2?

by jcastro 15y ago
So pretend it's like apt, but for the cloud. Instead of deploying a lamp server onto one machine you deploy the service you want to your datacenter. This can either be EC2, your openstack cloud, or local machines. Let's say you want to depl

I fear you didn't read the article, does pacman autoprovision the OS on the cloud for you and deploy it so the service is ready to use? We're not talking about installing packages on your computer, we're talking about deploying services on

We're including a tool in Ubuntu called juju [1] that will enable us to ship cool setups like this to users. We did something similar for Wordpress [2] and plan to ship it in 12.04. I'd love to bring you on board so we can compare configs a

This is pretty much the outcome of the session at UDS. I don't recall what the final agreement was but the idea is to ratchet things up as developers need it without just tossing everything onto the disc at once.

Alt-click isn't part of Unity, he's talking about the GNOME fallback desktop, which doesn't ship in Ubuntu by default.

I have 2 24 inchers and what I do to get my "set up" in the morning is I have all the applications I need arranged in my launcher: From top to bottom I have file manager and browser, then all my apps that I need to have open on my launcher,

That's the fallback from GNOME. The old "classic" panel look has been deprecated upstream, it doesn't really exist any more so I don't know what you're expecting Ubuntu to do in this case.
