Ubuntu: the centre of the cloud ecosystem
Ubuntu is integral to public clouds, PaaS, OpenStack, SDN / NFV and much more, so it’s no surprise that developers and ISVs now default to Ubuntu. To help you navigate this ecosystem, Canonical has partnered with the best software, hardware and solutions providers.

Charm Partner Programme
Canonical’s Charm Partner Programme helps you leverage the power of Juju, the service orchestration tool, by helping you create Juju charms for your products. Charms encapsulate all the important configuration information, effectively defining how your services will be deployed and how they will work with other services. The result? Anyone can demo, deploy and scale your applications, just as well as your best engineers.
Ubuntu OpenStack interoperability lab
Ubuntu is the world’s most popular choice for OpenStack clouds, with 55% of OpenStack users choosing Ubuntu as their preferred platform. As more new solutions are developed for Ubuntu OpenStack, interoperability between components becomes increasingly important. In the Ubuntu OpenStack Interoperability Lab, we test and integrate our partners’ hardware and software rigorously, to ensure all components can be combined reliably in real-world deployments.
