Ubuntu Server news storm

Check out my interview with Dustin Kirkland. Take a sneak peak into Ubuntu Server's future directions. The server team is working on some pretty exciting technologies for the natty release and later. Things touched on

• Virtualization and LXC improvements
• Higher quality Java packaging
• Automated Server ISO testing, ensuring rock solid releases
• Even more Upstart polish
• Improving Ubuntu server's Cluster stack
• Datacenter power efficiency with powernap
• UEC and EC2 image improvements, pv-grub support
• Cloud "desktop" images! wow!
• HUGE project for cloud/data-center automatic deployment, management, monitoring, debugging. IMO this takes Ubuntu server way above anything out there. The technology is all about picking and integrating the best of breed open-source server technologies. While you could always do that work yourself, having a tightly integrated stack that is known to work, is what makes Ubuntu server an easy and fun platform to build upon

Exciting times indeed, check out the full interview at
