What if you could manage your Ubuntu hosts the same way you manage your containerized applications? Managing Ubuntu hosts traditionally means configuration management, package updates, and drift control using tools like Puppet, Chef, or shell automation. Bootc streamlines the process. A Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Sandbox project, bootc lets you define your Ubuntu systems as OCI container images and deploy them consistently across bare metal, virtual machines, edge devices, or cloud environments.

In this talk from Ubuntu Summit, Dmitry Lyfar (Engineering Manager at Canonical) introduces Workshop: a new solution for launching composable, secure, and fast development environments on Ubuntu in a single command. Learn how to create sandboxed, reproducible environments for running agents with different development stacks consistently and securely. Ubuntu Summit 26.04 is a showcase for the innovative and the ambitious.

Welcome to Ubuntu Summit 26.04! In this welcome keynote, Mark Shuttleworth (CEO, Canonical), and Jon Seager (VP Engineering, Canonical), detail how Ubuntu is driving speed, safety, and community access in the era of agentic engineering. Learn how Canonical is balancing the need for rapid innovation with strict safety sandboxing through snaps, LXD, and microVMs. You'll also get a first look at what's in store for Ubuntu.

Your AI agent just did something unexpected. Was it a hallucination? A bad tool call? Or did it actually handle things correctly? Sentry Conversations lets you replay the full exchange and find out.

What happens when decades of operational experience meet modern AI-driven networking? In the latest episode of Next-Gen Network Heroes, Bob Slevin sits down with Jeremy Bradberry, Senior Network Engineer at Delaware North, to explore how network engineers can modernize infrastructure without losing sight of the operational realities behind the technology. Jeremy shares lessons learned from working on legacy manufacturing systems, how AI is helping engineers analyze data and automate workflows faster than ever before, and why strong standards still matter in today’s AI era.

What can decades of hands-on operational experience teach us about the future of AI-driven networking? In this episode of Next-Gen Network Heroes, host Bob Slevin sits down with Jeremy Bradberry, Senior Network Engineer at Delaware North, for a conversation that spans everything from legacy manufacturing systems and mainframes to modern AI-assisted network operations. Jeremy shares how his early career working in industrial environments shaped the way he approaches networking today, giving him what he calls an “X-ray vision” into how technology connects directly to business operations.

Understand what hybrid cloud monitoring is and why it’s critical for managing modern distributed IT environments. Hybrid cloud monitoring helps organizations unify visibility across on-prem infrastructure, public cloud platforms, virtual machines, containers, and Kubernetes clusters in a single monitoring platform. In this video, learn how fragmented monitoring tools create operational blind spots and slow down incident response across hybrid environments.
