Massive Open Source Success: A Step-By-Step Guide | Ubuntu Summit 26.04

Not all open source projects gain traction -- but a few become movements. In this talk, Nariman, Founder of Puter, shares what actually separates the two, based on his experience of growing Puter to 40K+ stars, gaining hundreds of contributors, and over 500K installations. He breaks down how to gain momentum from a project's foundation, attract contributors, and design projects that capture the imagination.

How to deploy Canonical Managed Kubeflow on Microsoft Azure?

Learn how to deploy Canonical Managed Kubeflow on Microsoft Azure step by step. Canonical's Managed Kubeflow on Azure gives enterprise and startup AI teams a fully operational, open source MLOps platform in under an hour. It is managed 24/7 by Canonical's engineers. This means you can focus entirely on building models rather than running infrastructure.

What is InfiniBand?

When distributed workloads stall because nodes cannot exchange small messages quickly and consistently, the network is the limiting factor. How do you solve that problem? InfiniBand offers one solution. InfiniBand is an interconnect, meaning the end-to-end communication system that links compute, storage, and accelerator nodes. It is implemented as a purpose-built network fabric, the switching and transport layer engineered to deliver high bandwidth and low, predictable latency between those nodes.

How Canonical Support solves hard Linux performance bugs - even in 12-year old code

Some support cases are straightforward. Others lead deep into legacy code, where a single logic bug can quietly turn a routine command into a major performance problem. This series looks at how Canonical Support and Sustaining Engineering work together to investigate, patch, and upstream difficult issues that standard troubleshooting alone cannot solve.

Introducing Workshop | Ubuntu Summit 26.04

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.

Using Bootc to Manage Ubuntu Hosts | Ubuntu Summit 26.04

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.
