# Extreme OpenStack

From instant solutions for big data and platform-as-a-service (PaaS) to a revolution in container technology and the easiest way to build an OpenStack cloud, we will show you exactly why we are the leaders in scale-out technology.

[Come and see us at the Paris OpenStack Summit ›](https://ubuntu.com/event/openstack-summit-paris/)

## Mark Shuttleworth Keynote

Watch Mark Shuttleworth create high-density container magic, put OpenStack on autopilot, make PaaS and big data instant, and much more.

## Big data solutions

Structured or unstructured, batch or real-time, build your entire Hadoop workflow with Juju in minutes. Reduce, analyse, index, and visualise your data in four easy steps, re-configure and iterate as often as needed. That is maxim big data from Canonical.

## Introducing LXD

Take all the efficiency of docker and turn it into a full virtualisation experience. Launch a new Linux machine in under a second. Launch hundreds of them on a single server. Connect them separately and securely. Run that on one node or a million. On bare metal, public cloud, or OpenStack. This is LXD from Canonical.

## Cloud Foundry in minutes

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solutions such as Cloud Foundry are notoriously complex to set up. Canonical’s Juju now lets you deploy and configure an entire CF environment in minutes. You can also use Juju to deploy OpenStack and go from zero to Cloud Foundry on OpenStack in less than an hour!
