It’s hard to believe that the first KubeCon took place nearly 10 years ago. Back then, Kubernetes was still in its early days, and the world was only just beginning to understand the power of container orchestration. Fast-forward to today, and Kubernetes is a fundamental part of cloud-native development, taught in universities as a key […]

Welcome to the first quarterly roundup on the State of Silicon and Devices by Canonical.  Q1 has seen lots of announcements in the areas of Edge AI and cybersecurity. Companies across the semiconductor and software ecosystem are pushing toward more powerful, energy-efficient AI models at the edge, while simultaneously strengthening their security posture to meet […]

Organizations are racing to harness the transformative power of AI, but sensitive data privacy and model security remain critical roadblocks. What if you could unlock the full potential of AI without compromising your most valuable assets? Canonical is thrilled to announce the availability of Ubuntu Confidential VMs on Google Cloud’s accelerator-optimized A3 machine series, featuring […]

The latest report from the International Data Corporation (IDC) co-sponsored by Canonical and Google Cloud  indicates that 36% of organizations adopt open source to improve development velocity, and 7 in 10 organizations see open source as extremely important to run mission critical workloads. However as open source adoption grows, organizations face increasing difficulty in securing […]

Open source software is a popular tool for businesses for many reasons, but this adoption has introduced new challenges in maintaining their open source software supply chain. 57% of organizations source their packages from upstream open source repositories, and 51% from ecosystem packages like pip or npm. The research shows that while 9 out of 10 organizations would prefer to source packages from their OS, only 44% actually do. And half of businesses don’t automatically update their apps and Oses to the newest version.

Rivos Inc. brings scalable, high-performance AI accelerating solutions to the Data Center, helping to turn the benefits of both AI and Data Analytics into a reality. Rivos is  working with Canonical to deliver the widely utilized Ubuntu OS on top of the Data Center-class integrated RISC-V CPU and innovative GPGPU solution from Rivos.  This blog […]

Application security (or AppSec, for short) is a broad term that refers to all of the tools, actions, and processes that an organization uses to protect its applications against vulnerabilities across the entirety of its life cycle. Application security has one objective: to find weaknesses in your applications and systems that could be abused by malicious actors to gain unauthorized access, misuse the application, or make harmful modifications, and fix them before they become a problem

The landscape of artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving, demanding robust and scalable infrastructure. To meet these challenges, we’ve developed a comprehensive reference architecture (RA) that leverages the power of open-source tools and cutting-edge hardware. This architecture, built on Canonical’s MicroK8s and Charmed Kubeflow, running on Dell PowerEdge R7525 servers, and accelerated by NVIDIA NIM microservices, […]

We’re pleased to release Ubuntu Security Guide profiles for CIS benchmarks.

The landscape of generative AI is rapidly evolving, and building robust, scalable large language model (LLM) applications is becoming a critical need for many organizations. Canonical, in collaboration with NVIDIA, is excited to introduce a reference architecture designed to streamline and optimize the creation of powerful LLM chatbots. This solution leverages the latest NVIDIA AI […]
