What is, how to install WSL2 and why is it great news for the IT industry?

Before diving into what WSL2 is, how to install it, and how to use it – which we will – I would like to add some background information you might relate to if you were born in the 80s like me. From a very young age I have felt attracted to computers, and in my childhood they were not as common as they are today, when almost everyone has one within reach. I think my first encounter with a computer was when I was 11 or 12 years old, with an old computer that my father had in his office.

Deploying Kubeflow everywhere: desktop, edge, and IoT devices

Kubeflow, the ML toolkit on K8s, now fits on your desktop and edge devices! 🚀 Kubeflow provides the cloud-native interface between Kubernetes and data science tools: libraries, frameworks, pipelines, and notebooks. > Read more about what is Kubeflow To make Kubeflow the standard cloud-native tool for MLOps within the AI landscape, the open-source community has accomplished the aggregation and integration of many projects on top of Kubernetes.

How Kubernetes is transforming the industrial edge

According to leading independent researchers teknowlogy | PAC, open source platforms – and Kubernetes in particular – are central to the future of digital factories. The PAC RADAR report offers a detailed market analysis of industrial digitalisation trends, and it predicts that Kubernetes-based platforms that bring together edge and cloud technologies will soon dominate the digital factory landscape.

Introducing etrace - a multi-purpose application profiling tool

These days, the internal workings of Linux applications involve many different moving parts. Sometimes, it can be rather difficult to debug them when things go wrong or run slower than expected. Tracing an application’s execution is one way of understanding potential issues without diving into the source code. To this end, we wrote an app-tracing tool called etrace, designed to detect performance bottlenecks and runtime issues in snaps.

New installation options coming for Ubuntu on WSL

Ubuntu Desktop on Raspberry Pi

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. Finally, show us that you’re using the Ubuntu Desktop on your Raspberry Pi, or what you’re using it for for a chance to win some free Groovy Gorilla 🦍goodies.

Build a Raspberry Pi Desktop with an Ubuntu heart

On the 22nd October 2020, Canonical released an Ubuntu Desktop image optimised for the Raspberry Pi. The Raspberry Pi Foundation’s 4GB and 8GB boards work out of the box with everything users expect from an Ubuntu Desktop. It is our honour to contribute an optimised Ubuntu Desktop image to the Raspberry Pi Foundation’s mission to put the power of computing into people’s hands all over the world.
