Arm for anything from Hypervisors to HPC workloads
Canonical together with Ampere is driving developments in HPC and Cloud computing on Arm.
This talk will give an insight on the following topics:
1. The wave of new Ampere/Arm instances that are popping up in the cloud where the bare metal and VM instances are running Ubuntu
2. Cloud Native Workloads are running on Ampere + Ubuntu! The wide variety of SaaS, PaaS and digital first services are finding a new and different option in Ampere + Ubuntu
3. Canonical's journey in enabling its wide product portfolio of data center solutions on Ampere/Arm (from bare-metal provisioning with MAAS to private cloud management with OpenStack and much more)
4. We would like to take a glance at Scientific Compute and computationally intensive workloads such as Cloud HPC, Genomics and Life Sciences, Weather and other verticals that are getting big lifts off of the scale-out architecture we provide
Additionally, we will also highlight an internal reference case on how Canonical runs some of their internal infrastructure, called ProdStack, on Arm-based Ampere servers and the experience gained from it.
