The Source

Data governance is easy to describe and much harder to operate. Most organizations can define ownership, document policies, and agree that data should be easier to find and trust. The difficult part starts when those ideas have to work across real systems. A pipeline may be running successfully, but nobody knows who owns the source.

Canonical is now part of the Open Secure AI Alliance, announced by NVIDIA with partners across cloud computing, cybersecurity, enterprise software, open source foundations, and AI research. The alliance aims to develop and share open technologies, techniques, and tools to safeguard software and agents in the age of AI. The bedrock for AI 

As the telco industry transitions toward Autonomous Networks Level 4, a fundamental architectural challenge has emerged: how do you build a secure, reliable and interoperable AI harness that bridges probabilistic AI reasoning with deterministic, carrier-grade network execution?

London, UK – August 25, 2026 – Following our initial collaboration announcement in March 2026, Canonical and Arduino (a subsidiary of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.) are excited to announce that VENTUNO Q is now generally available for pre-order, pre-loaded with Ubuntu. VENTUNO Q is a dual-brain developer board designed for edge AI and robot

Canonical announces that the Advantech AOM-2721 is officially joining the list of Ubuntu Certified Hardware.

Most organizations already understand encryption at rest and encryption in transit. These controls are mature, widely deployed, and often explicitly referenced in security frameworks. However, runtime is different: when an application processes sensitive information, that data is typically available in memory. In a traditional infrastruct

Meet Alex, an Android developer. In this article, we’ll follow Alex through their day to show you how Anbox Cloud supports Alex from feature development to release. Alex’s focus for today is building a ride-tracking feature for their ride-sharing app.

Canonical introduces a new way to manage software behind firewalls and in air-gapped environments with the Enterprise Store. The Enterprise Store makes software distribution manageable and scalable behind firewalls or in air-gapped environments. Available with an Ubuntu Pro subscription, the Enterprise Store respects the security protocol

How Canonical Support helped a global retail organization trace the cause for an unusual memory leak originating in PID 1. By investigating the issue across three separate system layers our team was able to identify the source and fast-track a patch.

MAAS brings cloud-like automation to physical servers. It helps teams discover, commission, deploy, and repurpose machines from a central control plane, turning bare metal into a programmable resource. But to experience that value, users first need to get MAAS up and running. That path is now cleaner and easier to follow. We’ve created ne

Introduction A local privilege escalation (LPE) vulnerability affecting the Linux kernel was publicly disclosed on July 6, 2026. The vulnerability was assigned CVE ID CVE-2026-53359 and is referred to as Januscape. This vulnerability affects all Ubuntu releases. Neither NVD nor Kernel.org have published their own CVSS scores for this issu

Modern infrastructure teams are expected to deliver cloud-like speed, consistency, and reliability, even when their workloads run on physical servers. Bare metal remains essential for many environments: private clouds, Kubernetes clusters, AI infrastructure, edge sites, regulated platforms, and large Ubuntu estates. But operating physical

A platform is an environment that allows software to run smoothly across the infrastructure, runtime, and application layers. The key word there is “smoothly”: a good platform connects those layers so well that you don’t notice it. That’s what Ubuntu Server has become: the essential layer between bare metal and the apps running on top,

In the traditional automotive world, teams often work in silos: the cybersecurity experts lock down the ports, the quality assurance teams hunt for bugs, and the functional safety engineers track the ISO 26262 compliance. At Canonical, we believe this fragmented workflow causes friction rather than collaboration.

On June 25, 2026, JFrog published their research into CVE-2026-43503, referring to the vulnerability as DirtyClone. The vulnerability had previously been responsibly disclosed to the Linux kernel maintainers and the CVE record published on May 23, 2026. The vulnerability affects multiple Linux distributions, including all Ubuntu releases.

Mitigations are available for the Linux vulnerability with CVE ID CVE-2026-46331. The CVE ID was assigned on June 16 2026 and highlighted as a local privilege escalation (LPE) vulnerability on June 26, 2026. Known as “pedit COW”, this vulnerability affects multiple Linux distributions, including all Ubuntu releases starting with Bionic Be
