Extra Factor Authentication: how to create zero trust IAM with third-party IdPs

Identity management is vitally important in cybersecurity. Every time someone tries to access your networks, systems, or resources, it’s critical that you are verifying that these attempts are valid and legitimate, and that they match a real, authenticated user. The way that this tends to be handled in cyber security is through Identity and Access Management (IAM), most commonly by using third-party Identity Providers (IdPs).

Optimizing IoT and edge with Ubuntu: secure, simplify, scale

From IoT to edge computing, Ubuntu helps you secure, simplify, and scale device deployments with confidence.

Whether you’re building next-gen hardware or optimizing existing infrastructure, this talk offers practical insights and tools to help you succeed.

The hitchhiker's guide to infrastructure modernization

One of my favourite authors, Douglas Adams, once said that “we are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.” Whilst Adams is right about a lot of things, he got this one wrong – at least when it comes to infrastructure. As our Infra Masters 2025 event demonstrated, infrastructure is the technology that makes everything work – from managing a satellite in outer space, to, say, livestreaming an event.

Transitioning to FIPS 140-3 on Azure with Ubuntu

Organizations that work with the US public sector or handle sensitive data currently have a FIPS 140-2 requirement. Currently, if an organization wants FIPS compliance while running on Azure, they are running Ubuntu Pro 20.04 or earlier. On September 21st, 2026, this will no longer be enough to achieve FIPS compliance because organizations will need to transition to FIPS 140-3.

Ubuntu Summit 2024 | Miriway: Worlds of Wayland

"Miri" (the plural of mir) derives from the Russian for "world"; and "way" is for Wayland, a protocol used by graphical shells (not the craftsman in European folklore). Together these make Miriway: an easy way to leverage the Mir compositor engine to build Wayland based desktop environments. There are many components to a desktop environment: backgrounds, panels, launchers, onscreen keyboards, notifications, etc. Miriway provides a Wayland compositor (which handles the display, input and window management) leaving the rest to be configured.

How does MongoDB work?
