VCF and Ubuntu Join Forces to Ease Friction in Private Cloud Development

VCF and Ubuntu Join Forces to Ease Friction in Private Cloud Development

Friction is the enemy of productivity. When developers are bogged down by infrastructure inefficiencies—particularly during container and VM deployments—their organization’s agility can suffer. Poor integration between containers, virtual machines, and guest operating systems is a significant challenge that can lead to poor performance, mismanaged resources, and security vulnerabilities.

Without well-tuned virtualization tooling and configuration, guest OSes may be operating in degraded modes on a platform, relying instead on generic emulated hardware profiles that hinder CPU, memory, and I/O efficiency. This lack of optimization impacts not only application responsiveness and uptime but also system-level stability and security.

Tight OS Integration 

A recently expanded collaboration between Canonical and Broadcom aims to resolve these integration issues by deeply integrating and fully qualifying Ubuntu OS in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0. According to…
