CRA compliance: Things IoT manufacturers can no longer do under the CRA (and what to do instead)

May 7, 2025 By Stephanie Domas In Canonical
I’ve written about the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) on our Canonical blog a few times now, and I think now’s the perfect time to talk about the implications of this new regulation and what it means for IoT and device manufacturers on the practical level of how they design and build Products with Digital Elements (PDEs).

Linux Coredumps (Part 2) Shrinking the Core

May 2, 2025 By Blake Hildebrand In Memfault
In our previous article, we outlined what a Linux coredump is and how they work under the hood. One common constraint we see in embedded Linux, however, is a limited amount of storage space. Whether we’re trying to limit writes to disk, or need to reserve most of the disk space available to a device for other data, sometimes we just don’t have enough space to store coredumps.

Extra Factor Authentication: how to create zero trust IAM with third-party IdPs

Apr 29, 2025 By Stephanie Domas In Canonical
Identity management is vitally important in cybersecurity. Every time someone tries to access your networks, systems, or resources, it’s critical that you are verifying that these attempts are valid and legitimate, and that they match a real, authenticated user. The way that this tends to be handled in cyber security is through Identity and Access Management (IAM), most commonly by using third-party Identity Providers (IdPs).

The hitchhiker's guide to infrastructure modernization

Apr 24, 2025 By Canonical In Canonical
One of my favourite authors, Douglas Adams, once said that “we are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works.” Whilst Adams is right about a lot of things, he got this one wrong – at least when it comes to infrastructure. As our Infra Masters 2025 event demonstrated, infrastructure is the technology that makes everything work – from managing a satellite in outer space, to, say, livestreaming an event.

Transitioning to FIPS 140-3 on Azure with Ubuntu

Apr 23, 2025 By Canonical Ubuntu In Canonical
Organizations that work with the US public sector or handle sensitive data currently have a FIPS 140-2 requirement. Currently, if an organization wants FIPS compliance while running on Azure, they are running Ubuntu Pro 20.04 or earlier. On September 21st, 2026, this will no longer be enough to achieve FIPS compliance because organizations will need to transition to FIPS 140-3.
