coRAN Labs and Canonical at MWC Barcelona 2026 At MWC Barcelona 2026, coRAN Labs and Canonical are presenting a working demonstration of a cloud-native, quantum-safe telecom platform for 5G and beyond 5G networks. This is not a conceptual exercise. It is a full 5G System (5GS) deployment with post-quantum cryptography embedded across the

Previously I have written about how useful public cloud storage can be when starting a new project without knowing how much data you will need to store. However, as datasets grow over time, the costs of public cloud storage can become overwhelming. This is where an on premise, or co-located, self-hosted storage system becomes advantageous

For many software teams, documentation is written after features are built and design decisions have already been made. When that happens, questions about how a feature is understood or used often don’t surface until much later.  A little over one year ago, our team began to recognize this pattern in our own work. Features generally

FIPS compliance for IoT use cases in Federal space. In this article, we’ll explore what Ubuntu Core is, and how to use it with FIPS.

Open source libraries are repositories of code that developers can use and, depending on the license, contribute to, modify, and redistribute. Open source libraries are usually developed on a platform like GitHub, and distributed using package registries like PyPI for Python and npm for JavaScript. These repositories contain pre-written,

This is the story of how Canonical’s Support team provided bug-fix support: we tracked down an upstream change in OpenSC that inadvertently broke FIPS compatibility, coordinated with upstream developers across distributions, and delivered both a hotfix and a proper universal solution.

Building telco clouds with open source At MWC Barcelona 2026, Canonical is demonstrating how telecommunications operators and enterprises can design and operate a cloud on their own terms: sovereign, cost-effective, and built on open platforms that span from core data centers to the intelligent edge. One of the demos is the result of Cano

Modern data centres are hitting a wall that faster CPUs alone cannot fix. As workloads scale out and latency budgets shrink, the impact of moving data between servers is starting to become the most significant factor in overall performance. Remote Direct Memory Access, or RDMA, is one of the technologies reshaping how that data moves,

PWC claimed the ‘fundamental challenge’ behind slowing growth is that telecom’s ‘core products and services’ are ‘becoming commodities.’ The way forward lies in modernizing and diversifying: evolving from traditional telecommunications to ‘techco’ (technology company) services. In 2026, many of these opportunities will come from cloud com

SpacemiT (Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. today announced a  collaboration with Canonical to make  Ubuntu available on SpacemiT’s new K3 SoC and the existing K1 series RISC-V computing platforms. This collaboration marks a deep integration between open-source operating systems and open RISC-V silicon, bringing powerful, flexible, and relia

Partnership between Microsoft and Canonical Since 2016, when Microsoft announced its intention to make Linux a first class citizen in its ecosystem, Canonical and Microsoft have been working hand in hand to make that vision a reality. Ubuntu was among the first distributions to support the preview of SQL Server on Linux. Ubuntu was the

AWS’s open source edge run time meets Canonical’s fully containerized OS for devices delivering a supported and robust end-to-end answer for enterprises looking to develop their own IoT hardware and solutions. London, February 3, 2026 — Canonical and AWS are pleased to announce the release of the new snap for AWS IoT Greengrass, making th

We recently announced that you can now benefit from the combined power of Ubuntu Core and AWS IoT Greengrass to bring the computation, storage, and AI capabilities of the cloud closer to the edge. AWS IoT Greengrass is an open source edge runtime and cloud service that extends Amazon Web Services (AWS) capabilities to physical
