Canonical Announces Its Distribution of Kubernetes 1.7 for Ubuntu Linux Users

Canonical, through Marco Ceppi, today announced the general availability of its distribution of pure-upstream Kubernetes 1.7 for users of the Ubuntu Linux operating system.

Canonical's Distribution of Kubernetes, or CDK for short, is an initiative that provides Ubuntu users with a production-grade method for installing, configuring, and managing Kubernetes lifecycle operations. Today, Canonical upgraded its distribution of Kubernetes to support the latest and most advanced Kubernetes 1.7 upstream release of the production-grade container orchestration tool.

"This is a Canonical distribution of pure-upstream Kubernetes, designed for ease of deployment and operations on public clouds and on-premise on bare metal, VMware, or OpenStack," says the company in a press release. "The Canonical distribution of Kubernetes is also easy to spin up on developer laptops using LXD containers for component isolation and distributed system simulation."
