Ubuntu for public cloud providers

Ubuntu Cloud comprises Ubuntu Cloud Infrastructure, based on OpenStack, and Ubuntu Cloud Guest running on top of that infrastructure, whether private or public.

Public cloud providers can build out their cloud on Ubuntu and then offer a certified Ubuntu Guest as part of a single commercial engagement with Canonical. This greatly simplifies the process of bringing up a public cloud that will be competitive with current offerings from the major vendors.
