What is bundle tester? How to set up and run, how to write tests, and how Canonical automates the running of these tests for you.

In this session we go over what Juju is, and how to get started using it.

In this demo we show how you can use Juju to deploy workloads onto IBM POWER8 systems.

This is a basic introductory video explaining what Juju is and how it can help you deploy workloads to the cloud.

Charles Butler explains how to automate orchestration with Juju during this talk at the 2014 USENIX Configuration Management Summit.

Juju has the ability to leverage Linux containers (LXC) to deploy charms locally to your desktop/laptop. This lets you iterate quickly during development in a manner similar to a real cloud.

A “bundle” is a set of Juju charms that come together as one file. It makes it easier for people to deploy complex sets of services in one go.

In this charm workshop Marco Ceppi talks about how you can add tests to your Juju charms using Amulet, our test framework.

Sometimes core Juju might not have a feature you want, or you want to put together custom scripts to make life easier. Juju has a plugin architecture that lets you do just that. In this workshop Marco Ceppi walks us through how to write your own plugin.

In this workshop we go over how to use Vagrant and Juju together for writing charms.

In this workshop we explain what Juju Charm testing is, how to get started using it, and how the infrastructure works. Make sure you check out the charm testing documentation so you can leverage these tools!

We are excited to announce the membership of Talligent in Canonical’s Charm Partner Programme.
