Cloud-native Android infotainment: your CI pipeline shouldn't depend on hardware

Mar 2, 2026 By Bertrand Boisseau In Canonical
More and more often, infotainment systems are being developed and delivered like software, yet often they are still tested and validated using hardware-centric processes. This is far from ideal: access to devices is limited, environments are difficult to reproduce, and iteration slows down as soon as multiple teams need to work in parallel. These challenges become even more visible as cockpit systems move toward wide displays and high resolutions.

Canonical and Ubuntu RISC-V: a 2025 retro and looking forward to 2026

Feb 27, 2026 By Canonical In Canonical
2025 was the year that RISC-V readiness gave way to RISC-V adoption. It’s been quite a journey. What began years ago as early architectural exploration and enablement has matured into real silicon, systems, and deployments. In particular, RVA23 provides a stable and predictable baseline we can align on with our wider ecosystem of partners. At Canonical, we’re committed to making RISC-V a viable option for anyone who wishes to adopt it.

Unmasking the Resolute Raccoon

Feb 26, 2026 By Aaron Prisk In Canonical
You’ve almost certainly seen them… In the forest, rummaging through a dumpster, in poorly aging millennial memes. Raccoons are ubiquitous and endlessly entertaining creatures. YouTube and TikTok are full of videos documenting their clever antics and escapades. One such intrepid raccoon gained fame for making their way to the most unlikely places, from liquor stores to karate studios.

Building quantum-safe telecom infrastructure for 5G and beyond

Feb 24, 2026 By Benjamin Ryzman In Canonical
At MWC Barcelona 2026, coRAN Labs and Canonical are presenting a working demonstration of a cloud-native, quantum-safe telecom platform for 5G and beyond 5G networks. This is not a conceptual exercise. It is a full 5G System (5GS) deployment with post-quantum cryptography embedded across the stack – from radio access to core, from transport interfaces to orchestration and public key infrastructure (PKI).

Predict, compare, and reduce costs with our S3 cost calculator

Feb 18, 2026 By Philip Williams In Canonical
Previously I have written about how useful public cloud storage can be when starting a new project without knowing how much data you will need to store. However, as datasets grow over time, the costs of public cloud storage can become overwhelming. This is where an on premise, or co-located, self-hosted storage system becomes advantageous: it provides the greatest range of benefits, including cost, performance, security, and data sovereignty.

A year of documentation-driven development

Feb 17, 2026 By Yanisa Haley Scherber In Canonical
For many software teams, documentation is written after features are built and design decisions have already been made. When that happens, questions about how a feature is understood or used often don’t surface until much later. A little over one year ago, our team began to recognize this pattern in our own work. Features generally functioned as intended but were difficult to use or explain. Documentation lagged behind releases.

The foundations of software: open source libraries and their maintainers

Feb 13, 2026 By Isobel Kate Maxwell In Canonical
Open source libraries are repositories of code that developers can use and, depending on the license, contribute to, modify, and redistribute. Open source libraries are usually developed on a platform like GitHub, and distributed using package registries like PyPI for Python and npm for JavaScript. These repositories contain pre-written, re-usable code that developers use to add elements or features within their software projects.

What is RDMA?

Feb 11, 2026 By Benjamin Ryzman In Canonical
Modern data centres are hitting a wall that faster CPUs alone cannot fix. As workloads scale out and latency budgets shrink, the impact of moving data between servers is starting to become the most significant factor in overall performance. Remote Direct Memory Access, or RDMA, is one of the technologies reshaping how that data moves, and it forces a rethink of some long-held assumptions in data centre networking. This article is the first in a short series.
