Ubuntu Supports Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Ampere A1 Compute
May 25, 2021 -- Together with Oracle, Canonical announces an optimised Ubuntu image for the launch of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Ampere A1 Compute. Oracle Cloud customers will benefit from running Ubuntu, the most popular cloud operating system, on a secure, scalable, and highly cost-effective infrastructure.
“Ubuntu on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Ampere A1 Compute provides a high performing and cost-effective solution for all types of workloads. Ubuntu gives developers a highly optimized cloud operating system and kernel with excellent boot speed, strong security, and stellar stability,” said Matt Leonard, vice president, product management, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
The same secure Ubuntu, now with Oracle Cloud optimized kernel and configurations. Combining the benefits of Ubuntu with the performance of Oracle’s new offering, enterprises can run traditional workloads in a cost optimised fashion. The ARM-based platform is also particularly suited for new use cases, such as Anbox Cloud, which allows organisations to run Android in the cloud at scale and securely. For this reason, Umony a supplier of compliance communication solutions for regulated markets will be integrating Anbox Cloud with the new Ampere A1 Compute instances.
Anbox Cloud, Canonical’s solution to run Android at high scale on any cloud, benefits from the performance and density that OCI Ampere A1 Compute can provide. Running hundreds of Android containers for automation use cases becomes simple while providing great economics.
Ubuntu on OCI Ampere A1 is available as a platform image in the OCI console now.
