There was a time when Ubuntu releases, especially the non-LTS ones, brought about more change than in a slot machine. Not much new on the desktop, but a strong sign of things to come in Ubuntu server. Ubuntu still includes online results in local searches, but it’s easy to disable if you want to increase your privacy. This set of drivers and libraries enables users to handle network packets far more quickly than with traditional kernel drivers. Users with heavy network loads may be interested to see the inclusion of the Data Plane Development Kit (DPDK) in the latest version of Ubuntu. This isn’t a huge change, since LXD has already been available for some time, but by pushing it into every installation, Canonical is trying to get people into its own tool rather than alternatives such as Docker. LXD, Canonical’s container management tool, is now shipped by default. However, OpenStack isn’t an easy system to set up, and having a simple path to running a private cloud will make Ubuntu a much more attractive option for people taking their first foray into this system. It’s a little bit of a shame that in 2015 an easy installer for software can be considered a feature. The biggest of which is the new OpenStack installer (Autopilot). Let’s now move swiftly on to the Server edition of Ubuntu 15.10, where there are some pretty big changes afoot.
