From PC World:
Ubuntu Server Geared for Future Clouds
This release includes version 2.0.2 of the Eucalyptus cloud software, upgraded from version 1.7 that was used with the last release. The release also includes expanded support for libvirt--a collection of software for managing virtual machines--and KVM (Kernel-based Virtualization), which is Canonical's default virtualization platform.
Canonical also plans to post a version of this server software on Amazon's EC2 (Elastic Cloud Compute) that has been customized for HPC (high-performance computing) duties, which tend to be used by scientific researchers. "We have a lot of Ubuntu users doing this kind of work, so this should be a better starting point," George said.
