22.06.2026 20:20 Introduction My previous blog talked about the importance of instruction set standardization for ecosystem stability and growth through the use of profiles. And standardization is indeed important, but since one of RISC-V’s great benefits is the ability to customize the instruction set, we should also consider how to support that ability. This blog looks at

22.06.2026 14:10 What an incredible experience!

Whether you joined us in person or tuned in from across the globe, you helped make this edition our most

18.06.2026 23:00 Your Ubuntu Core fleet is running beautifully. OTA updates roll out in minutes. Every device is strictly confined, cryptographically attested, and carrying a 10 to 15 year long term support commitment. The operational team sleeps soundly. Then the product roadmap meeting happens. The industrial floor needs vibration sensors on every motor. The smart building

17.06.2026 20:32 With our latest 1.30.0 Anbox Cloud release, available today, we are introducing one of the most significant evolutions of the platform to date: support for virtualized Android. For the first time, Anbox Cloud can launch complete Android system images inside lightweight virtual machines, managed and orchestrated through the same Anbox APIs our users already rely

17.06.2026 20:32 In an increasingly volatile job market, standing out from the competition is vital. For many in the open source community, formal recognition for self-taught skills is a significant challenge. These skills are often built through hands-on hobbies, side projects, and deep community contributions. While the market is flooded with certificates and certifications, most fail to

16.06.2026 15:51 Welcome to this blog series which explores innovative uses of Ubuntu Core. Throughout this series, Canonical’s Engineers will show what you can build with this Core 26 release, highlighting the features and tools available to you. In this first blog, Farshid Tavakolizadeh, Engineer Manager for Canonical’s Industrial team, will show you how to try Ubuntu

16.06.2026 15:51 Canonical’s security philosophy has always been built on the premise that vulnerabilities exist and will be discovered. Our response relies on defense-in-depth architecture, rapid patch deployment, and strict adherence to Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure . AI changes vulnerability discovery volume and speed. We have a robust vulnerability management process that is backed by rigorous compliance certifications.

16.06.2026 15:51 As designers working at Canonical, we’re always thinking about open source. We believe that encouraging more designers to contribute to open source benefits everyone, from the project maintainers to the end users themselves. In the 2025 edition of FOSSBackstage conference, we presented our research findings on why designers don’t get involved in open source projects

12.06.2026 20:40 This year we celebrate a decade of Ubuntu Server support on the s390x architecture: marking a long-standing collaboration between Canonical and IBM that began at LinuxCon 2015. The first release happened on April 21, 2016, bringing Ubuntu 16.04 LTS to IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE platforms.  A first for Ubuntu on IBM That

12.06.2026 00:50 Legacy infrastructure was not designed for the requirements of the AI era. While large-scale model training remains centralized in data centers, test-time inference is rapidly shifting to the edge to reduce latency and bandwidth consumption. This shift creates a new frontier for enterprise AI, but deploying at the edge introduces significant manual complexity, interoperability issues,

11.06.2026 18:00 Achieving vendor neutrality in telco clouds requires an infrastructure layer that respects open standards, without wrapping them in rigid platform layers. By combining upstream alignment with up to 15 years of support longevity, Canonical’s approach to Sylva is built around a requirement that matters deeply to telcos: follow upstream cloud-native innovation when developing and evolving platforms, then rely on long-term support to keep production environments stable, trusted, and operationally predictable.
