-- [[LaunchpadHome:jorge]] <<DateTime(2012-03-14T12:47:19-0628)>> - Ben has been a tremendous help keeping Ubuntu in shape on Amazon Web Services.

I helped test the work he did on putting the mirrors in EC2 and though it sounds simple it's a huge benefit; this is something that was previously only available to Amazon Linux users and is now available for Ubuntu users to use. If membership is granted I'd like to see your blog on Planet Ubuntu talking about some of these infrastructure-y cloud bits that we all take for granted.

Ben is great to work with. He's my contact for getting the cloud images coordinated with the rest of the images for our releases. When ever I ask, he's got things ready to go, and doesn't need reminders - which is awesome from my perspective. :) Have also enjoyed brainstorming with him on ideas for making our release processes better, and looking forward to more brainstorming and improvements in the months to come.

  • Cloud Image Process
    • I manage the daily build process
    • I also handle release-day launches of the cloud images

  • Rebranded cloud-images.ubuntu.com to use new styling

S3 Ubuntu Mirrors

  • Authored and setup syncronization process to mirror new S3 mirrors in EC2
    • Process took over two months to implement

    • Published code publiclly here

Precise LXC

Contributed to the Ubuntu Cloud template

Contributed to Cloud-Init

Current Project

I'm currently developing a tool that utilizes the new Query2 data-format to allow users to consume and customize cloud-images at for arbitrary clouds. The source is here

In the near term, I will be putting up a public Glance server for openstack installations to consume images.

Bug Triaging

I have done a little bug triaging for the Ubuntu Server Team.

Future Goals

I plan on actively working toward Core-Dev status and making Ubuntu the top-tier distribution within the clouds.
