HP has announced that starting May 10th, the public Beta of its first Public Cloud Services that enable developers to build web applications and change the economics of deploying modernized applications, will be officially available.

According to Canonical, this announcement comes just in time for the launch of Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS at the end of this month.

HPCloud is built on top of Ubuntu Server and uses the built in KVM hypervisor to power OpenStack compute nodes.

“Whether you are an independent developer or a Fortune 100 company, you need cloud infrastructure and services that give you choice."

"From the toolset options that developers require to the billing flexibility and security that businesses demand, HP Cloud Services will offer a variety of capabilities,” said Zorawar Singh, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cloud Services, HP.

Canonical has also released a new cloud proxy that should bridge two similar services, Amazon’s EC2 and AWS, called AWSOME (Any Web Service Over Me), simplifying the deployment of hybrid cloud workloads across AWS and OpenStack clouds.
