What is a telco cloud?

Telecommunications companies (telcos) are well on their way to transforming their infrastructure from the legacy, unadaptable, complex network of dedicated hardware from yesteryears to agile, modular and scalable software-defined systems running on common off-the-shelf (COTS) servers. Within this space, the current trend, driven by 5G deployments, is to complement tried and tested network function virtualisation (NFV) infrastructure with cloud-native network functions (CNFs).

Generative AI with Ubuntu on AWS. Part II: Text generation

In our previous post, we discussed how to generate Images using Stable Diffusion on AWS. In this post, we will guide you through running LLMs for text generation in your own environment with a GPU-based instance in simple steps, empowering you to create your own solutions. Text generation, a trending focus in generative AI, facilitates a broad spectrum of language tasks beyond simple question answering.

Ubuntu AI | S2E4 | AI on public cloud: what should you know?

Weka report from 2024 showed that 47% of respondents will use the public cloud as the primary place to develop their machine learning projects. This is a result of a correlation of factors which include the need for compute power, easy scalability, and the ability to utilise existing infrastructure already in place on both hybrid clouds and public clouds. Join us to talk more about AI on the public cloud: what are the main benefits and what are the best practices an organisation could implement in order to easier adopt AI and leverage the most the public clouds.

Introducing Charmed MongoDB

Introducing Charmed MongoDB – Canonical’s enterprise-grade MongoDB database offering. Charmed MongoDB simplifies the operations of MongoDB applications through automation, security, scalability, availability and monitoring. Charmed MongoDB is the cost-effective, reliable, secure and scalable way to use MongoDB on any cloud, hybrid cloud or on-premise. It also provides additional support, managed services, and expert services, so enterprises can run MongoDB in production at a lower cost, bug-free and in the most optimised way.

Canonical expands Long Term Support to 12 years starting with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Today, Canonical announced the general availability of Legacy Support, an Ubuntu Pro add-on that expands security and support coverage for Ubuntu LTS releases to 12 years. The add-on will be available for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS onwards. Long term supported Ubuntu releases get five years of standard security maintenance on the main Ubuntu repository.

Getting Started with Azure IoT Edge on Ubuntu Core

Earlier this month/week, we announced that you can now benefit from the combined power of Ubuntu Core and Azure IoT Edge to bring the computation, storage, and AI capabilities of the cloud closer to the edge of the network. Azure IoT Edge is a device-focused runtime that enables you to deploy, run, and monitor containerised Linux workloads. Ubuntu Core is a version of Ubuntu that has been specially optimised for IoT and embedded systems.

Secure your AI workloads with confidential VMs

AI models run on large amounts of good quality data, and when it comes to sensitive tasks like medical diagnosis or financial risk assessments, you need access to private data during both training and inference. When performing machine learning tasks in the cloud, enterprises are understandably concerned about data privacy as well as their model’s intellectual property. Additionally, stringent industry regulations often prohibit the sharing of such data.
