Watch Wei Yeang (WY) Toh, GM, Ecosystem Development at Intel , share at embedded world Exhibition&Conference 2026 how Intel and Canonical are working together to advance Edge AI with more efficient, validated options based on Ubuntu. #EdgeAI #Ubuntu

A look back at Canonical Day in Amsterdam 👀 From insightful conversations to hands-on discussions, it was great to connect with all the attendees about open source and cloud innovation. Want to join the next Canonical event? https://lnkd.in/e9fuidQe

We recently joined Dell Technologies at the appliedAI Ecosystem Meetup in Munich to explore the key drivers of successful AI adoption. Together with Mark Lewis, VP of Application Services at Canonical, and Marc O'Regan, CTO at Dell EMEA, we connected with industry leaders to discuss the future of AI-ready infrastructure and how our partnership is helping enterprises implement scalable, production-ready sovereign solutions.

Canonical was at the XuanTie Partner Conference in Shanghai last week! 👏 We're proud to deepen our silicon partnership with Alibaba DAMO Academy to bring an enterprise-ready Ubuntu experience to the upcoming XuanTie C950 platform. Key highlights from the event: • Cindy Goldberg, VP of Cloud and Silicon Partnerships at Canonical, took the stage to share Canonical’s strategic vision for RISC-V, on how we are building a resilient, production-grade ecosystem together. • We also demoed server-grade virtualization using IOMMU on Ubuntu (running on the C950 FPGA). This is a major step forward for system resilience and high-performance virtualization on RISC-V hardware. RISC-V is gaining momentum in enterprise infrastructure, and we ensure Ubuntu is the foundation for the next generation of data centers.

Learn the impact of bare metal operations on AI infrastructure economics

Ubuntu machines can be managed as part of a Windows estate, supporting Group Policy Objects and more through Active Directory. Swipe below to learn more about it, and read our blog for more info: https://lnkd.in/e2imWqQw #Ubuntu #Linux #IAM #ActiveDirectory #GPO

Bare metal Kubernetes builds on the best ideas from both public and private clouds. To gain greater flexibility, performance benefits, and control, it is crucial to coordinate workloads with bare metal provisioning. MAAS provides the missing link for Kubernetes clusters to run seamlessly and flexibly on on-premises bare metal clouds. Learn how bare metal Kubernetes compares with virtual machines, and explore the benefits of implementing it with Canonical Kubernetes, Juju, and MAAS.

In software supply chain security, the best code isn't always the newest. Constantly pulling the latest upstream version might keep your scanner “quiet,” but it could mean trading known, patched vulnerabilities for unknown ones. Security backporting patches vulnerabilities deliberately. It ships only what’s been tested and trusted, without pulling in unreviewed upstream changes.

Backup strategy is also security strategy 🔒 A backup is an independent copy of a snapshot containing the state of a system at a precise point in time. This World Backup Day, revisit your backup security model and ask a simple question: could one compromised credential access everything? One of the most important backup-specific measures is role separation. Attackers may try to delete backups before carrying out a ransomware attack, which means a backup is only useful if a single compromised credential cannot unlock both the original data and its backups. In practice, that means separating access across three groups: 1️⃣ Database administrators for source data 2️⃣ Backup administrators for backup systems 3️⃣ Vault administrators for encryption keys and secrets Get more best practices in our whitepaper: https://lnkd.in/etx6xEwE #WorldBackupDay #Data #CyberSecurity
