LTS vs. upgrades: which future are you building for?

How should businesses decide between sticking to an LTS release or moving to a continuous upgrade model? In this episode, we explore the trade-offs, from stability and security to innovation and agility, and why flexibility in your upgrade policy is key to long-term success. We break down when LTS makes sense, when frequent upgrades deliver the most value, and how to balance both to keep your business secure, stable, and ready for what’s next.

A CISO's guide to Application Security best practices

When most people think about the most important ingredients of software, Application Security (AppSec) is unlikely to be at the top of the list… but it should be. Without AppSec, you face severe risks of data breaches, massive fines, enraged users, and severe financial losses.

What craft means for Canonical

Last month Jon Seager (our Vice President for Ubuntu Engineering) wrote about crafting software: Multiple Canonical products have craft in their names: Snapcraft, Charmcraft, Rockcraft (and there are others in the works). Our craft products are tools for making software, for the software craftsperson. To be a maker of tools comes with responsibilities – when you decide what tools should be like, you are also deciding how people should work.

Running AI without blowing up your storage

Storage is often underestimated: In infrastructure discussions, compute and networking get most of the attention, while storage is treated as secondary. For AI workloads, that can be a costly oversight. Data throughput for specialized hardware: AI infrastructure powered by GPUs can process massive volumes of data at unprecedented speeds. This puts immense pressure on the storage system to keep up. Scale-out performance: An on-prem, scale-out, software-defined storage setup allows you to meet high performance demands, grow capacity as needed, and stay in control of infrastructure costs.
