Canonical MicroCloud’s 2.1.0 LTS release features support for single-node deployments, improved security posture, and more flexibility during the initialization process. In this video we guide you through the new process, starting with deploying a MicroCloud on a single node, and then expanding with two additional members for a highly available cluster. Follow along and try it yourself.

A MicroCloud is a new lightweight, featureful, and straightforward cloud for on-demand computing at the edge. MicroClouds differ from IoT which uses thousands of single machines or sensors to gather data, yet does not perform computing tasks. Instead, MicroClouds reuse proven cloud primitives with unattended, autonomous, and clustering features that resolve typical edge computing challenges.

Public cloud providers offer convenient services for database deployments. However, depending solely on a single provider’s database-as-a-service can result in vendor lock-in and reduce your system’s resilience against widespread outages affecting the provider. Instead, explore our approach to deploying MySQL across multiple clouds. A multi-cloud database strategy enables you to retain control of your infrastructure while enhancing overall resiliency and leveraging the unique strengths of each cloud provider.
