How do you treat software development failure? Do you take time to measure and learn from software failure? Or do you try to fix it quickly only after your customers complain about it? Failure can be an opportunity to learn and get better. So how can you measure and learn from software failure, and turn failure into at least a partially positive experience? Failure happens all the time, but if you're not measuring it, how do you know what you’re missing?

29th September 2022 – Canonical is proud to announce the availability of Ubuntu WorkSpaces on AWS, a fully managed virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) on the public cloud and the first third-party Linux OS available on the platform. Ubuntu Desktop’s availability on Amazon WorkSpaces was announced today at the AWS End User Computing Innovation Day in Seattle, WA.

We’ve just launched our inaugural State of Availability Report and the results are sobering. We discovered that: We’d hoped that at this point in the global digital transformation, organizations had gotten further ahead with mastering availability but there’s still a long way to go.

You may be tired of the regular three-tiered infrastructure and the management issues it can bring in distributed systems and maintenance. Or perhaps you’ve looked at your infrastructure and realized that you need to move away from its current configuration. If that’s the case, hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) may be a good solution because it removes a lot of management overhead, acting like a hypervisor that can handle networking and storage.

Organizations today are under pressure to stay ahead and maintain IT applications and infrastructure optimally. That means their IT teams are tasked to make sure that functions move along smoothly while minimizing downtime. To keep the lights on, enterprises add whatever domain-specific tools they need. However, these tools are often reactive, and not nearly robust enough to handle complex application topologies.
