Enterprise open source, secured and delivered by the publisher of Ubuntu.
About us
We deliver open source to the world faster, more securely and more cost effectively than any other company. We're also the publishers of Ubuntu, the world’s most popular enterprise Linux from cloud to edge, together with a passionate global community of 200,000+ contributors. Ubuntu means 'humanity to others'. We chose it because it embodies the generosity at the heart of open source, the new normal for platforms and innovation. Together with a community of 200,000, we publish an operating system that runs from the tiny connected devices up to the world's biggest mainframes, the platform that everybody uses on the public cloud, and the workstation experience of the world's most productive developers. Secure and reliable, elegant and intuitive, and open for innovation - this is the future of open source, which is why we're proud to be the developers of the fastest growing Linux in the world despite already being the most widely deployed. If you're interested in a career at Canonical, we are a remote-first company so please apply to any suitable role as skills are valued more than location, despite some having a preferred geographic preference. www.canonical.com

Your AI factory may have a hidden bottleneck… But it’s not what you might think. Many AI workloads run in containers, but they still depend on physical servers to deliver the performance they need. Cloud-native software works best when it runs on an efficiently managed bare metal foundation. MAAS gives you cloud-style management for bare metal, turning physical servers into programmable resources. Join our webinar on April 22, 2026 to learn how bare metal automation can shape AI economics. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eWA3NzEe #OpenSource #Canonical

Security hardening is one of those areas where manual work creates unnecessary risk. Ubuntu Security Guide (USG) helps automate hardening and auditing to align with CIS and DISA-STIG benchmark requirements — making it easier to improve consistency and reduce configuration errors.

Kubernetes can reschedule a workload, but it can’t fix a broken node. In GPU-dense AI environments, inconsistent hardware configurations and slow manual reprovisioning are invisible anchors, weighing down AI ROI. If you are running AI platforms directly on physical servers, bare metal automation can propel your workflows. In this blog, we dive into: • Why bare metal automation matters for AI platforms running directly on physical servers • How MAAS simplifies and streamlines servers with repeatable provisioning, recovery, and hardware validation • How MAAS fits beneath cloud-native infrastructure Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eBvHe8eh #OpenSource #Canonical #MAAS

Today, April 12, marks the International Day of Human Space Flight.🚀 As humanity moves deeper into the stars, open source is quietly powering the infrastructure behind space exploration. Did you know the European Space Agency - ESA runs its mission operations on Canonical's open source portfolio including Kubernetes, Ceph and PosgreSQL? These missions span from wildfire tracking to collision avoidance and disaster response. 🔗 Dive deeper into the ESA case study in this keynote: https://lnkd.in/erAF5EYi Happy International Human Space Flight Day!

Did you know that by year three, data center operating expenditure (OpEx) often exceeds 50% of total cost of ownership (TCO)? Many organizations focus on hardware costs – capital expenditure (CapEx) – but long-term operational work often has a bigger impact on budgets. Patching, provisioning, and troubleshooting all take time, and traditional data center operations struggle to keep pace with the speed and scale of the public cloud. With Canonical MAAS, you can replace manual work with standardized, repeatable operations. Read the blog to learn how to bring cloud-like agility to your on-prem environment. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e5Jg_AQK #OpenSource #Canonical #MAAS
