MicroCloud starts with a single node, but at least 3 nodes are recommended for high availability.
Easily extend your open source cloud platform in site size and scale from a single node to larger 50-node clusters.
“Currently we have 200 students; we’re aiming to grow to 2,000 in 4 or 5 years. I think MicroCloud is a great opportunity for us, as it can scale very easily for our goals.
We are only three or four guys inside the Infrastructure team. What we wanted was a single interface to manage everything, so that even one person can do this work. It was also very, very, very important for us that the solution would be compatible with the hardware we got in the past. And that’s why we moved onto MicroCloud.”

Self-deployed or Canonical-deployed? Choose the option that suits you best, and start your MicroCloud planning today.
Self-deployed
You deploy Canonical MicroCloud yourself by relying on product documentation and tutorials. Once deployed according to requirements outlined in documentation, you may choose to purchase and attachUbuntu Pro for enterprise support, compliance, security maintenance, and patching.
Canonical-deployed
We deploy Canonical MicroCloud for you. Together, we select the design and hardware that best suits your use case and requirements. We will share our best practices and hand over the cloud to you once it’s built, tested, and validated by us.
