As survey results pour in this year, focused on IT administrators, it is clear that many IT departments are either already experimenting with the OpenStack open cloud computing platform, or will deploy it soon. Meanwhile, The OpenStack Foundation has established that a majority of OpenStack users go with Ubuntu as their host operating system, a surprising statistic that Matt Asay has discussed in detail.
As IT departments focus on OpenStack and Ubuntu together, they are also focusing on the OpenStack Interoperability Lab, which Canonical announced in 2013 and has been evolving. Now, PLUMgrid, which provides virtual network infrastructure for OpenStack clouds, has become an Ubuntu Cloud partner and a part of the Canonical OpenStack Interoperability Lab program.
