Another year, another ROSCon! This year we’re setting off to Odense, Denmark. At Canonical, we are excited to once again sponsor this event for a community that means so much to us. Just like last year, we are eager for the talks and workshops that, as always, teach us new things and inspire us to

The Cloud Expo Madrid 2024 will run on 16 and 17 October at IFEMA Madrid. Come down to our booth, K87, to meet us and chat about Cloud, AI, ML and more.

A vector database is a data storage system that organises information in the form of vectors, which are mathematical representations. These databases are designed to store, index, and query vector embeddings or numerical representations of unstructured data, including text documents, multimedia content, audio, geospatial coordinates, tabl

Microsoft Azure’s confidential virtual machines, powered by Ubuntu and featuring NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs, offer enhanced security for AI workloads. Discover how this technology addresses data privacy concerns in sectors like healthcare, finance, and government while ensuring robust AI performance and regulatory compliance.

In the world of cloud computing, we rely on abstraction layers to manage complex systems. While this simplifies development, it also creates vulnerabilities for sensitive data. Traditionally, privileged software within the cloud has access to your data, and could pose a significant security risk, if not managed properly. But there’s a new

Canonical is committed to enabling organizations to secure and scale their AI/ML projects in production. This is why we are pleased to announce that we have joined the Open Platform for Enterprise AI (OPEA), a project community at the Linux Foundation focused on enterprise AI using open-source tooling. What is OPEA? OPEA is a project

Running AI workloads at the edge with Canonical and Lenovo AI is driving a new wave of opportunities in all kinds of edge settings—from predictive maintenance in manufacturing, to virtual assistants in healthcare, to telco router optimisation in the most remote locations. But to support these AI workloads running virtually everywhere, com

Canonical and Omdia’s report reveals that 96% of CSPs will launch commercial 5G edge computing within 2 years. In this blog, we examine the drivers behind this optimism.

The accelerated developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence in healthcare have set the stage for some interesting transformations. By enabling better care for patients, optimizing processes, and generating new opportunities for medical research and treatment, these technologies are indeed going to change the healthcare in

Four CVE IDs have been assigned that together form an high-impact exploit chain surrounding CUPS: CVE-2024-47076, CVE-2024-47175, CVE-2024-47176 and CVE-2024-47177. Canonical’s security team has released updates for the cups-browsed, cups-filters, libcupsfilters and libppd packages for all supported Ubuntu LTS releases. The updates remedi

Recently, a striking report published by Omdia and Canonical highlighted that 86% of communication service providers (CSPs) are optimistic about the future of edge computing on telco networks.  This is a market that is expected to grow substantially in the coming years, with our report shedding light on the motivation that CPSs are drawin

Today, Canonical announced the release of Charmed OpenSearch, an enterprise solution for OpenSearch® with advanced automation features, multi-cloud capabilities, and comprehensive support. OpenSearch is an open source search and analytics suite that developers use to build solutions for search, observability, security analytics, generativ

The TurtleBot3 robot is a standard platform robot in the ROS community, and it’s a reference that Canonical knows well, since we’ve used it in our tutorials. As a matter of fact, we use it to demonstrate some of our work, such as distributing a ROS stack through snaps. This robot embeds two boards, a

As Canonical continues to grow, we have developed a unique onboarding process that enables our new hires to quickly settle and establish themselves in our globally distributed environment.  During your first few weeks your manager will create an onboarding plan to introduce you to the business, your closest stakeholders and colleagues. Yo

Canonical is excited to announce that we are collaborating with OpenAirInterface (OAI) to drive the development and promotion of open source software for open radio access networks (Open RAN). Canonical will bring automation in software lifecycle management to OAI’s RAN stack, alongside additional infrastructure capabilities. This will be
