Real-time Linux with Ubuntu: low-latency performance for embedded systems

Need deterministic response times for latency-sensitive applications? In this session, Edoardo Barbieri (Product Manager at Canonical) breaks down the fundamentals of real-time Linux on Ubuntu, and how it meets the demands of telco, industrial automation, and robotics use cases. Learn how Ubuntu enables predictable, low-latency performance across embedded environments. Subscribe. Fuel your curiosity.

CRA compliance: Things IoT manufacturers can no longer do under the CRA (and what to do instead)

I’ve written about the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) on our Canonical blog a few times now, and I think now’s the perfect time to talk about the implications of this new regulation and what it means for IoT and device manufacturers on the practical level of how they design and build Products with Digital Elements (PDEs).

AI on constrained embedded devices with Ubuntu Core

As AI moves closer to production, running inference on embedded devices is becoming essential, but challenging. In this session, Gabriel Aguiar Noury (Product Manager at Canonical) explores how snaps and Ubuntu Core simplify the packaging and deployment of AI models on resource-constrained devices, while maintaining security and updatability.

Extra Factor Authentication: how to create zero trust IAM with third-party IdPs

Identity management is vitally important in cybersecurity. Every time someone tries to access your networks, systems, or resources, it’s critical that you are verifying that these attempts are valid and legitimate, and that they match a real, authenticated user. The way that this tends to be handled in cyber security is through Identity and Access Management (IAM), most commonly by using third-party Identity Providers (IdPs).

Optimizing IoT and edge with Ubuntu: secure, simplify, scale

From IoT to edge computing, Ubuntu helps you secure, simplify, and scale device deployments with confidence. In this session, Gabriel Aguiar Noury (Product Manager) and Tabish Khan (Sales Director IoT) from Canonical explore how Ubuntu streamlines the deployment, management, and maintenance of embedded systems, without compromising on reliability or security. Whether you’re building next-gen hardware or optimizing existing infrastructure, this talk offers practical insights and tools to help you succeed.

The hitchhiker's guide to infrastructure modernization

One of my favourite authors, Douglas Adams, once said that “we are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.” Whilst Adams is right about a lot of things, he got this one wrong – at least when it comes to infrastructure. As our Infra Masters 2025 event demonstrated, infrastructure is the technology that makes everything work – from managing a satellite in outer space, to, say, livestreaming an event.

Transitioning to FIPS 140-3 on Azure with Ubuntu

Organizations that work with the US public sector or handle sensitive data currently have a FIPS 140-2 requirement. Currently, if an organization wants FIPS compliance while running on Azure, they are running Ubuntu Pro 20.04 or earlier. On September 21st, 2026, this will no longer be enough to achieve FIPS compliance because organizations will need to transition to FIPS 140-3.
