Today, Canonical announced the release of Workshop, a solution for launching development environments with a single command. These environments are configured once, and can be reproduced on different machines. This means consistent workflows across development machines and deployment pipelines, and less time managing dependencies.

Open source thrives on engineering-driven processes. Fast feedback loops, terminal tools, Git workflows: they’re the lifeblood of how we build software in the open. But for software to truly excel, we need to create user experiences that empower people to use them. I wanted to bring this conversation into the spotlight as part of Canonical’s Open Design initiatives. What better way than at FOSS Backstage 2026 Berlin?
Canonical announces fully Managed Kubeflow AI operations platform on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace

Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu, today announced the general availability (GA) of Managed Kubeflow on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. This solution enables AI teams to get a fully managed, production-ready MLOps platform in their own tenant. Upstream Kubeflow is a powerful tool for machine learning, but it remains notoriously challenging to deploy and maintain.

I’ve yet to meet a developer that enjoys working with metered AI APIs. The need to pay for every API call in development works in direct opposition to the ethos of rapid iteration, and it’s easy for the costs to get out of hand. That’s why Canonical has created a different approach to building AI-powered applications; one where the model lives inside your app, not behind a pay-per-token HTTP call.

The recent unveiling of Anthropic’s Claude Mythos preview has radically shifted the cybersecurity landscape. We are now in an era where AI can autonomously discover and exploit zero-day vulnerabilities in mature codebases at machine speed.

BYOD (bring your own device) has always looked better on paper than it does in real life. The promise is clear: let people use the gadgets they already own. Less friction, lower costs, and more freedom. But when security and privacy are non-negotiable, the conversation around BYOD usually ends quickly. Not because BYOD is a bad idea, but because the model behind it doesn’t quite work. With BYOD, you’d be trying to secure something that isn’t meant to be trusted.

Why run Ubuntu on Windows? It’s about getting the best of both worlds. Many organizations rely on Windows applications, enterprise software, and policy configurations; but for developers and system administrators, Ubuntu’s native command-line tools, package managers, and server environments are invaluable. Likewise, with its broad ecosystem of machine learning tools and libraries, and silicon optimizations, Ubuntu is ideally suited for AI workloads.

llm-d is an open source solution for managing high-scale, high-performance Large Language Model (LLM) deployments. LLMs are at the heart of generative AI – so when you chat with ChatGPT or Gemini, you’re talking to an LLM. Simple LLM deployments – where an LLM is deployed to a single server – can suffer from latency issues, even with just one user. This can be because of lack of memory-bandwidth on the server, or because of KV cache pressure on system memory.

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.

What is Ubuntu Core? Ubuntu Core is a minimal and strictly confined variant of Ubuntu powering devices around the world. Ubuntu Core 26 now integrates with the Canonical Observability Stack, streaming device logs and metrics to centralized Grafana, Loki, and Prometheus infrastructure, deployable in the cloud or on-premise, without burdening the device's primary workloads.

From the smallest startups to the largest enterprises alike, organisations are using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to make the best, fastest, most informed decisions to overcome their biggest business challenges. But with AI/ML complexity spanning infrastructure, operations, resources, modelling and compliance and security, while constantly innovating, many organizations are left unsure how to capture their data and get started on delivering AI technologies and methodologies.

Traditional development methods do not scale into the IoT sphere. Strong inter-dependencies and blurred boundaries among components in the edge device stack result in fragmentation, slow updates, security issues, increased cost, and reduced reliability of platforms. This reality places a major strain on IoT players who need to contend with varying cycles and priorities in the development stack, limiting their flexibility to innovate and introduce changes into their products, both on the hardware and software sides.

Private cloud, public cloud, hybrid cloud, multi-cloud... the variety of locations, platforms and physical substrate you can start a cloud instance on is vast. Yet once you have selected an operating system which best supports your application stack, you should be able to use that operating system as an abstraction layer between different clouds.

Container technology has brought about a step-change in virtualisation technology. Organisations implementing containers see considerable opportunities to improve agility, efficiency, speed, and manageability within their IT environments. Containers promise to improve datacenter efficiency and performance without having to make additional investments in hardware or infrastructure. Traditional hypervisors provide the most common form of virtualisation, and virtual machines running on such hypervisors are pervasive in nearly every datacenter.

Big Software, IoT and Big Data are changing how organisations are architecting, deploying, and managing their infrastructure. Traditional models are being challenged and replaced by software solutions that are deployed across many environments and many servers. However, no matter what infrastructure you have, there are bare metal servers under it, somewhere.
