The Canonical Distribution of Ubuntu OpenStack is the fastest and easiest way to build an OpenStack cloud. It is based on Ubuntu, the most popular platform for OpenStack deployments, and the leading Ubuntu OpenStack reference architecture. It brings together all the components included in the Ubuntu OpenStack Distribution, plus the convenience of automation through the intuitive, web-based UI, and the the choice of which components to use for hypervisor, storage, and networking.
