Where it all began 🧡🌐 This #WorldWideWebDay, we’re looking back at the early days of the Ubuntu website - the beginning of ShipIt, our program that shipped free Ubuntu CDs to anyone, anywhere in the world. It was also the start of something big, a global community built on the promise of open source for everyone. What are you building with open source today? Tell us in the comments below.

Evaluating cloud options for AI workloads? Here are a few key factors worth understanding: Data locality: AI models often rely on large datasets. Locating compute close to the data reduces transfer times and improves training performance. Latency sensitivity: Real-time AI applications, like recommendation systems or edge analytics, depend on low-latency environments. This can be more easily tuned in private or hybrid setups. Hardware specialization: Some AI workloads benefit from custom hardware like GPUs or TPUs. Private cloud allows more control over this, while public cloud offers broader access but less customization. Compliance and data sovereignty: For regulated industries, private cloud often makes it easier to meet jurisdictional requirements. Ultimately, your cloud strategy should align with the needs of your AI roadmap. More tips? Full video on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eXV6_A6r #Canonical #Ubuntu #OpenSource #Cloud #AI

Some excellent #Ubuntu themed updates over the past couple of days! First, a write up of the progress on our TPM-backed full disk encryption efforts in preparation for the LTS release cycle: https://lnkd.in/eYcsN363. I was also delighted to see our #kernel team step up their commitment on release cadence to get newer kernels shipped and tested faster in line with our new monthly snapshot releases: https://lnkd.in/eHWBkyze. And finally... the latest edition of the Ubuntu Server Gazette discussing software "freshness" and how to get an experience closer to that of a rolling release with Ubuntu: https://lnkd.in/e222MYYa Enjoy!

When your Linux infrastructure breaks, who do you call? 🚨 Security maintenance keeps you safe. Linux support gets you back up and running fast. These two concepts reinforce each other to keep your infrastructure resilient. At Canonical, our support team isn't just a help desk, we’re the engineers who build and maintain the software you’re running. Real support cases we’ve handled: • Scaling FIPS-compliant Landscape for thousands of VMs • Resolving Ceph cluster latency in days, not weeks • Preventing fleet-wide outages with rapid remote response From kernel to Kubernetes, Ceph to OpenStack, when you encounter critical issues, you need more than documentation. You need deep technical expertise that spans every layer of the stack. Discover what Linux support really means: https://lnkd.in/djCGkmEC #OpenSource #Canonical #LinuxSupport
