  Canonical 正式发布 MicroCloud — 一款低接触开源云解决方案。MicroCloud 是 Canonical 不断增长的云基础架构产品组合中的一员，专为所有类型企业的可扩展集群和边缘部署而构建。其设计集简单性、安全性和自动化于一身，最大限度地减少了其部署和维护的时间与精力。MicroCloud 还作为 Canonical Ubuntu Pro 订阅服务的一部分，提供企业支持，有多个支持层级可供选择，并且按节点定价，非常方便。  使用单个命令即可完成云部署 优化的 MicroCloud 可实现可重复的可靠远程部署。单个命令即可启动各种组件的编排和集群，且用户的参与度非常低，数分钟内即可部署形成一个功能齐全的云。这种简化的部署过程大大降低了进入门槛，使得人人都可轻松触及生产级云。  “云计算不仅仅关乎技术，它还是一切现代工业转型中推动敏捷性和创新的灵魂部分。我们的使命是为客户提供最有效的创新途径并创造价值；拥有一个无复杂性的云基础架构是这一难题的一个重要组成部分。有了 MicroCloud，即可将问题重点由云运营转移到解决真正的业务挑战。”Spindox 架构与技术主管 Juan Manuel Ventura 道。 更新安全无忧 除了无缝部署，MicroCloud 还优先考虑了安全性和易维护性。所有 MicroCloud 组件都是在严格的限制条件下构建而成，以此提高安全性，通过无线更新可以保存数据并自动回滚错误。如有新版本，将自动升级而无需停止运行，并且可以根据需要保留或设定升级时间。  通过这种方法，MicroCloud 既可以满足内部云部署，也可以满足远程位置的边缘部署，由此一来，企业组织可在任何需要的地方使用相同的基础架构原语和服务。这适用于分支机构办公地点或工厂内的工业用途，以及侧重于可复制性和无人值守操作的分布式地点。  “随着数据变得愈加分散，基础架构也必须跟上这样的步伐。云计算如今也是分布式的，横跨数据中心、远端边缘和近端边缘计算设备。MicroCloud 就是我们针对该难题的解决方案。”Canonical 产品副总裁 Cedric Gegout 称，“我们以一种可移植和无人值守的方式将已知的基础架构原语进行打包，从而提供一种更简单、更规范的云体验，使众多行业实现零运营。” 降低成本且不失性能 MicroCloud 的轻量级架构使其可以用于商品和高端硬件上，并且根据工作负载需求，可以通过诸多方法进一步减少其占用空间。除了标准版 Ubuntu Server 或 Desktop，MicroCloud 还可以在 Ubuntu Core 上运行 — 一款针对边缘优化的轻量级操作系统。有了 Ubuntu Core，MicroCloud 可形成针对计算能力有限的远端边缘位置的绝佳解决方案。用户可以选择使用虚拟机、通过系统容器或者通过 Microk8s 使用 […]
