Ubuntu MAAS, Snaps, LXD containers, conjure-up – just a few new names and packages within the „Ubuntu Universe“ to create, manage and handle cloud infrastructure.
It’s. A. Mess. Everything seems to be designed to run on it’s own, empty, fresh install of Ubuntu-something, automatically creating, installing, destroying things. And instead of a library/ package dependency hell, you are rewarded with a mount and network service dependency hell. And often with a „something failed, look at $logfile“ whereas $logfile tells you, that super-service-whatthefuckd could not be started since the address/ port is already in use.
