    When hardware operates unattended in remote locations, a failed update could be an operational disaster. Bricking a device hundreds of miles away turns a simple software patch into a costly physical recovery mission. Without built-in self-healing mechanisms, one bad deployment can paralyze your entire field operation. Canonical offers the solution.

  • What’s new in security for Ubuntu 26.10? Ubuntu 26.10 arrives at a time when AI tools are accelerating vulnerability discovery. To respond to this new threat landscape, the resilience of the underlying OS must limit what an attacker can achieve before a fix is available. We are reducing the code exposed to attack and replacing memory-unsafe implementations while preserving confinement. Read the blog post to learn more: https://lnkd.in/eySPy5-N #Ubuntu #AI #Security

  • Are your optimized, "zero-CVE" container images actually secure, or do your security scanners lack visibility? Join Lily Rivers-Klee, Product Manager of Ubuntu Toolchains, containers, rocks, and Java, at the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2026 Demo Theater on November 11 at 3.10 PM MST. Debunk common container myths and learn how to build hardened Open Container Initiative (OCI) images using open source tools.

  • The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) changes what “shipping a device” means. Manufacturers now need to show they can patch, maintain, and report on security issues for years after launch. For teams building on Zephyr, that raises a real question: how do you plan for a 10- to 15-year support window? Join Jonathan Beri (Head of Product and Internet of Things (IoT) at Canonical and founder of Golioth) and Chris Rommel (EVP, Edge AI and Industrial Technology at VDC Strategy) for a practical 60-minute discussion, covering: - What the CRA requires, including deadlines and gray areas - What VDC Strategy’s research says about how device makers are preparing - How Zephyr 26.04 Long Term Supported (LTS) changes the lifecycle for Microcontroller Unit (MCU) class devices - Where over-the-air (OTA) updates and device management fit into CRA field-update requirements - Practical steps to architect devices for a longer support window Date: November 3 Time: 5:00 PM CET Register now: https://lnkd.in/eyw_iRMK #Zephyr #CRA #IoT

    • Image showing a promotional graphic for a Canonical live webinar titled "Surviving the CRA." The webinar is set for November 3 at 3:00 PM CET and will cover "How Zephyr 26.04 LTS from Canonical can support your device roadmap." Featured speakers are Jonathan Beri, Head of Product and IoT at Canonical, and Chris Rommel, EVP at VDC Strategy. An illustration on the right shows a laptop with graphs and gears.
  • Intel, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Canonical published a new reference architecture that brings edge AI deployment down to a single command. - Inference snaps on Ubuntu Core detect host silicon and select an OpenVINO-optimized runtime for the CPU, GPU, or NPU on Intel Core Ultra processors. - Models run locally, even when offline - AWS IoT Greengrass handles fleet management and cloud sync - Transactional updates with automatic rollback keep devices resilient Read the solution brief: https://lnkd.in/e2FZwAFh #Canonical #OpenSource #IoT

  • Connected devices stay in the field for years, so their security has to last just as long. Ubuntu Core keeps devices patched with automatic over-the-air updates that roll back if anything fails. Every release includes 10 years of security maintenance, extendable to 15 years, with secure boot, full-disk encryption, and strict app confinement built in.

    • The image is a promotional graphic for Canonical, featuring the text "Build trusted devices on Ubuntu Core." It highlights features like "Automatic security patches for up to 15 years" and "Secure boot, encryption, and app isolation built-in." The bottom illustration includes a shield, gears, a cloud with a lock, and security symbols.
