More reliable updates. Much better security. Developers are much more productive on Ubuntu than handcrafted embedded Linux. Sharing a platform shares the cost. Licensing is cheaper, updates more tested and maintenance shared. Familiar and widely used Ubuntu means easy CI/CD, better tools, faster updates and better kernels. Linux is not a differentiator. Use pre-enabled boards and focus on software unique to your story. Managing a familiar environment and platform is easier and cheaper than a specialist OS. Naturally. More Linux developers choose Ubuntu, so the talent pool is deeper and broader. Tap the biggest talent pool. Ubuntu is ahead of the pack by every measure. Productivity starts with reuse. Accelerate developers with the world’s largest package selection. Every compiler and language developers use today is there, free, in Ubuntu. Developers use Ubuntu in the cloud for CI/CD and build systems - iterate faster, deliver sooner. Ubuntu is renowned for being the place where you get the best and the latest bits. The people who drive docker hardest do it on Ubuntu. Make cloud-native things.
The popular Ubuntu Server is great for developers and system administrators.
Get 12 years of automatic security updates for every major CVE.
Canonical publishes security updates for Ubuntu every day. You choose when they get installed on your devices.
Canonical builds and tests binary package updates for Ubuntu. No need to integrate a mountain of source code patches every year.
A database of fixes supports your customer compliance policy by making it clear which issue is addressed in any update.
Ubuntu provides a verified boot sequence and full disk encryption with optional hardware keys. Keep your custom software strictly confined as snaps to ensure any problem stays isolated. No other embedded Linux comes close to Canonical’s commitment to long term security. Meet GPL requirements automatically. Know what licenses are used in each package. Let us check for undocumented or unauthorized code combinations. Develop, deploy, iterate and improve. With Ubuntu and snaps, your teams run at cloud speeds.
The IoT App Store is designed for distributed devices. Control updates and versioning. Choose which apps you want your devices to see. Create exclusive, private snaps for your ecosystem. Manage app stores as a service for ODMs, resellers and integrators.
The global Snap Store delivers apps to millions of Linux machines every day. With automatic OTA updates and advanced software versioning, snaps are a perfect solution for IoT. Deploy your app to the Store to get global exposure. It integrates directly with GitHub and Travis, and best of all it’s free to use.
Build, test and publish applications automatically. Bring CI/CD to your IoT appliances. Give your developers a pipeline to deliver updates to customers straight from their standard process. Empower customers to test beta and pre-release versions.
Whether you’re using Git with Travis or Jenkins, automated snap creation is just a few steps away. For open source projects, we will even build your snap for ARM, x86, POWER and Z. Canary updates and automatic rollbacks let you go fast with confidence.
App packages for desktop, cloud and IoT that are easy to install, secure, cross‐platform and dependency‐free.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, the app store for Linux with an audience of millions.
Bring your cloud containers and CI/CD tooling to the edge. Using apt and debs: Using snaps:
MicroK8s is the simplest production-grade upstream K8s. Lightweight and focused. Single command install on Linux, Windows and macOS.
Made for devops, great for edge, appliances and IoT with full high availability Kubernetes and autonomous clusters.
LXD is a next generation container and virtual machine manager, providing flexibility and scalability for various use cases.
Includes support for different storage backends, network types and the ability to install on a range of hardware.
Failed updates roll back to the last working version automatically, allowing for rapid deployment.
All snaps are digitally signed and can be verified at any time.
On Ubuntu Core, the entire device is immutable and traceable.
Every application is confined to its own area for heightened security. On Ubuntu Core, the OS is locked down too.
Binary deltas mean we transmit the least possible data per update, saving you time and money. Backup device data at any time. Integrate with your existing data management strategy. Schedule snap updates to align with planned maintenance windows.
We certify the major platforms so you are ready to roll.
Fixed-price enablement and certification of related boards.
Bluetooth, WiFi, LTE. It’s all at your fingertips. Standard system services with long term maintenance included.
Get your real-world data streams flowing with the UPM and MRAA packages for Ubuntu.
Our entire platform is certified on both x86 and ARM. Pick your favorite, or use both in a product family with little overhead.
Start on Ubuntu and select the right silicon close to physical shipment, when your performance needs are better defined.
Canonical works with the leading silicon providers to optimize the entire stack - from metal and kernel to computer vision and AI.
Full disk encryption, secure boot and hardware key management raise the bar for trusted computing at the edge.
Long term support, defined and delivered. We’ll get you from POC to MVP and shipping in record time. Standard images of Ubuntu are free to download, get started with no friction. We are trusted by the world’s most demanding institutions to deliver platforms for regulated services. Updates and support from Canonical, for the life of your device. Thousands of companies manage Ubuntu every day. Your appliance will feel right at home. No matter where you ship, no matter where your customers are, we can be there when you need us. The intelligent edge is born on Ubuntu. From telco to retail, the trailblazers choose Canonical.Embedded Linux 2.0
