  • Ubuntu Server in the cloud, as the thin OS that serves your virtual instances bringing the tools that you need from a trusted source, or Ubuntu Server as the cloud IaaS tool allowing to quickly respond to your infrastructure challenges. This session will explain why we believe Ubuntu is the future of the cloud and cloud computing the future of computing.

  • An overview of how OEMs and ODMs can work more efficiently with Canonical to build successful Ubuntu-based devices.
