Ubuntu maker Canonical announced today MicroCloud Cluster Manager that is now in beta as a new cloud platform for managing lightweight cloud clusters.
MicroCloud Cluster Manager aims to manage clusters from data center use to edge clusters to clusters operating in different environments. The beta release is designed with Canonical’s observability stack in mind and so far supports an LXD Grafana dashboard.
Today’s announcement goes on to explain:
“MicroCloud Cluster Manager is built entirely on open source technology, just like MicroCloud itself. It’s orchestrated with Juju, using the PostgreSQL and the Traefik Ingress Operator charms to provide a solid, production-ready foundation. This stack ensures that day-two operations are solved out of the box, from automated updates to scaling and resilience.
…
MicroCloud Cluster Manager is our first step toward a richer, more powerful management experience for MicroCloud users. Over time, it will become a full operational console for cluster insights, automation, and lifecycle management.”

MicroCloud Cluster Manager is open-source via the AGPLv3 license on GitHub. It’s written in Go.
