New digital infrastructure is software defined, across many layers from multiple vendors, from central data centers and public cloud right to the cabinet or customer premises. Wrangling software complexity is a primary challenge for communications companies globally.

Ubuntu Desktop 20.10 sees much-anticipated support for the Raspberry Pi 🍓 Download an optimised image that transforms a Raspberry Pi 4 (with 4GB or 8GB of RAM) into a complete Ubuntu workstation. This wouldn’t have been possible without the Ubuntu community, the Raspberry Pi Foundations support and their incredible hardware, and you, the users. You can also read more about Ubuntu Desktop on Raspberry Pi.

CIS benchmark has hundreds of configuration recommendations, so hardening a system manually can be very tedious. To drastically improve this process for enterprises, Canonical has made CIS automation tooling available to its Ubuntu Advantage for Infrastructure customers and Ubuntu Pro users on the public cloud (Azure, AWS).

An introduction to MicroK8s: Canonical's lightweight distribution of Kubernetes that can be installed on any machine in under 60 seconds.

Learn how to get compact and resilient Kubernetes in under 10 minutes.

Over the last decade, organisations have started virtualising their IT workloads and migrating from legacy monolithic infrastructure to cloud environments. Many choose VMware as a provider for their virtualised infrastructure. However, because of the costs associated with VMware licencing, support and professional services, many are not able to meet their primary goal - significantly reduced TCO. In search of alternative solutions, organisations have recently started exploring other platforms such as OpenStack.

MicroK8s is Canonical’s lightweight Kubernetes, that allows for Kubernetes to be installed on any machine in under 60 seconds. Initially, microK8s was a single K8s cluster project, however as users grew to love this easy-to-deploy distribution, Canonical now enables them to create small K8s clusters for higher scalability. Watch this video to witness yourself how easily you can run a command, create your K8s cluster, and run it in an instance using microK8s.

Canonical has recently teamed up with Microsoft, to enable Kubernetes users to manage multiple K8s clusters from a single platform - Azure Arc. Even if you’re not a Microsoft user, you can attach any on-prem or public cloud Kubernetes cluster to Arc, and manage them from a centralised point. In this demo, watch how to administrate multiple and different K8s clusters with Canonical’s distributions of Kubernetes and Arc.
