<div dir="ltr">Well, I can provide a few things off the top of my head that should help. <div><ul><li>Canonical is fully committed to Juju as the way we deploy software internally, the way we deploy Open Stack clouds for our largest clients</li><li>Windows workloads are supported in the current beta version of Juju, and should after a bit of real-world testing be fully supported in one of the next (bi-monthly) production ready releases. <br></li><li>CentOS support is nearly feature complete, and should enter a beta release of Juju for testing within the next month. Like windows it will flow to a production release after it's had some real-world tests. </li></ul><div>There are quite a few big companies working on juju charms. IBM for example is delivering quite a few charms and has committed multiple full time development resources to working with juju. </div><div><br></div><div>There are also quite a few other big names working on juju charms -- many of them in the OpenStack space. I'll get a list of folks who are already public about being part of our juju based openstack integration labs for you as soon as I can. </div><div><br></div></div><div>We also have some big plans for products built on top of juju. The first of which is the OpenStack Autopilot which automates the deployment, scale-out, and management of OpenStack clouds. But, we are also building more products on top of Juju right now, and it is core to our future plans in the cloud. </div><div><br></div><div>So, to make a long story short, I think juju is gaining traction with some big enterprise players, Canonical is fully committed to Juju, and we are seeing momentum pick up in the marketplace. So, I personally would definitely bet on a bright future for Juju. </div><div><br></div><div>--Mark Ramm</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 25, 2015 at 4:01 PM, Merlijn Sebrechts <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:merlijn.sebrechts@gmail.com" target="_blank">merlijn.sebrechts@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;clear:both"><font color="#333333" face="UbuntuRegular, Ubuntu, Bitstream Vera Sans, DejaVu Sans, Tahoma, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:16.5454540252686px">Hi</span></font></p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;clear:both"><br></p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;clear:both"><font color="#333333" face="UbuntuRegular, Ubuntu, Bitstream Vera Sans, DejaVu Sans, Tahoma, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:16.5454540252686px">I'm interested in what the future of Juju is. From the small experience I've had with it, it seems like a product with a lot of potential. It fills a gap in our project that no other technology can fill. Its biggest strength is how relations between services are managed. This is something that, to my knowledge, does not exist in any tool today. It enables a very modular approach and solves a lot of problems we would have with other tools.</span></font></p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;clear:both"><font color="#333333" face="UbuntuRegular, Ubuntu, Bitstream Vera Sans, DejaVu Sans, Tahoma, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:16.5454540252686px">However, I've also seen some things that worry me. Even after three years, there are still a lot of bugs in the project. The documentation is lacking, especially in the parts of Juju that are the most competitive. The community is also very small. The fact that it can still only manage Ubuntu servers worries me too. I could go more into detail here, but I don't think it is relevant to this question.</span></font></p><p style="margin:0px 0px 1em;padding:0px;border:0px;vertical-align:baseline;clear:both"><font color="#333333" face="UbuntuRegular, Ubuntu, Bitstream Vera Sans, DejaVu Sans, Tahoma, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px;line-height:16.5454540252686px">I'm considering starting a big long-term project on top of Juju.
