Driving the Future of Industrial Automation

In 22.04, Canonical announced a beta version of the Ubuntu kernel with the PREEMPT_RT patchset integrated. The new real-time kernel serves extreme latency-dependent use cases and provides deterministic response times to service events. By meeting stringent preemption specifications, real-time is suitable across a broad range of verticals, from telco applications to dedicated devices in industrial automation and robotics.

But does a real-time kernel necessarily result in optimized performance? And what would be the consequences of missing a deadline? If you are a Linux kernel enthusiast or just getting started with real-time systems and want to learn more about PREEMPT_RT, this webinar is for you.

This webinar will provide a broad overview of the target use cases and real-time applications. Starting with the building blocks, we will learn:

- What is a real-time system?
- What are the use cases of real-time across market segments?
- What is the role of the PREEMPT_RT patchset?
- How would one know if a low-latency kernel is acceptable over PREEMPT_RT?

And much more. Having set the stage and the necessary context in mind, we will then deep-dive into the Linux kernel build with the out-of-tree PREEMPT_RT patch applied.

Compare two of the most advanced database management systems

Oracle database is undoubtedly one of the biggest success stories in the last few decades of IT history. DB-Engines’ ranking still places it as the most popular database despite the growing competition. Oracle database pioneered a number of ideas in the database management landscape that inspired many commercial and open source competitors.

PostgreSQL is one of those open-source alternatives that gained momentum in the recent years due to its vibrant community and ever-increasing number of extensions around its ecosystem (PostGis, TimescaleDB, Citus …). PostgreSQL’ first place in the last StackOverflow survey is an attestation of its success.
PostgreSQL from an Oracle database user’s lens 

Whether you are considering a migration from your Oracle database to PostgreSQL or you are trying to add PostgreSQL to your internal catalogue of the data solutions,  it is critical to understand the differences of PostgreSQL compared to Oracle database. 

In this webinar, we will dive into the development, operational and ecosystem differences between both solutions. We will draw a parallel between some of Oracle database’s most popular features (e.g. Active Data Guard, GoldenGate, RMAN) and their closest counterparts in the PostgreSQL landscape.
How to migrate from Oracle database to PostgreSQL

Understanding and analysing the differences between database solutions is the first step in a successful migration from one database to the other. In this webinar, we will present a methodology to execute your migration while minimising downtime and lowering the risk of data loss and performance degradation.

A lightweight, secure machine learning platform you can use on any infrastructure

Introduction to MLFlow, the open-source tool for machine learning

IT infrastructure is widely used to host mission-critical applications and services that must be available 24/7. However, downtime may occur and can have significant consequences in terms of costs, revenue and company reputation.

The cost and the consequences of downtime vary depending on the nature of the business, the type of infrastructure and the severity of the outage. For example, airlines, financial services and healthcare companies that rely on real-time systems for bookings, trading, and managing sensitive data, would likely experience much higher costs than a smaller company that uses its infrastructure for internal purposes.

It is exactly when incidents happen that organisations realise that implementing a fix in a timely manner can be quite expensive, and allocating skills and resources to incident response in advance can pay off significantly.

This is where enterprise support for IT infrastructure can be helpful, by bringing the right expertise that organisations need in the moment they need it. Support services act as an insurance policy by backing your team up 24/7 and expanding their knowledge with a valuable range of skills.

In this webinar, we will talk about how enterprise support services can help you minimise downtime for your IT infrastructure. The webinar will cover:

- Challenges maintaining and evolving IT infrastructure
- Challenges with incidents management
- How enterprise support for IT infrastructure works and how it can help you address those challenges
- How to choose the partner that is right for you
- How we support you at Canonical

How to ensure business continuity with IT infrastructure support

Intro to RTK - 3/10/23

Complying with the U.S. government security standards such as FISMA, FIPS, FedRAMP or DISA-STIG is crucial not only for government agencies but also for enterprises that provide solutions that need to comply with the strictest of the US government security requirements. 

At the same time, the operating system is the cornerstone of a compliance program. It provides the foundation for compliance for data protection with certified cryptography such as FIPS 140, hardening profiles for military applications such as DISA-STIG, and enables continuous vulnerability management. Canonical’s Ubuntu is well positioned not only to address the U.S. government's requirements for enterprise workloads, but also to provide the foundation for any successful solution.

In this webinar, we will:

- Provide an introduction to the U.S. government security standards and highlight common challenges
- Provide a breakdown of the standards in terms of software requirements and OS requirements
- Explain how 3rd party applications can follow the US government standards with Ubuntu
- Discuss how Ubuntu provides a secure platform for government agencies to build, operate and innovate with open source applications and technologies

How Ubuntu enables your compliance with FedRAMP, FISMA, FIPS, and DISA-STIG

AI is everywhere, especially in businesses.  From productivity to creativity to transformation, AI is rapidly becoming an indispensable tool for professionals.  Generative AI is a branch that took off this year, with a wide range of applications. While ChatGPT gathered more than 1 billion users in less than one week, the applications of generative AI go beyond chatbots.

What is generative AI?
Generative AI (GenAI) is a type of artificial intelligence that enables quick content generation. It uses various inputs, to deliver different outputs like text, sound, 3D animation or images. GenAI identifies patterns within existing data that are then used to generate new ones. Stable Diffusions or GPT-3 are just some examples of widely-adopted generative AI models. 

Generative AI models also need validation, like any other artificial intelligence project. Validation is important to ensure the quality of the output, which is especially important for applications that interact directly with users. Additionally, diversity in data sources is crucial to reduce bias and speed up output generation.

Generative AI vs LLMs
GenAI and large language models (LLMs) often create confusion. Whereas Generative AI focuses on content-creation functions, LLMs are used in relation to systems connected with languages. Generative AI is powered by very large machine learning models, often referred to as foundational models (FMs). Large language models (LLMs) are a subset of this category. LLMs are trained on trillions of words across many natural languages. This is the reason why LLMs can engage and build interactive conversations, powering many types of applications.

Artificial Intilligence and Machine Learning are hot topics these days, with more enterprises announcing huge investments in powerful computing hardware and new LLM models all over the news. It translates into a clear need to also optimise and search for machine learning tooling, that enables the desired return on investment for all these projects.

Kubeflow vs MLFlow

Started by Google a couple of years ago, Kubeflow is by design an end-to-end MLOps platform for AI at scale. Canonical has its own distribution, Charmed Kubeflow addresses the entire machine-learning lifecycle. It is, in fact, a suite of tools, such as Notebooks, for training, Pipeline for automation, Katib for hyperparameter tuning or KServe for model serving and more. Charmed Kubeflow benefits from a wide range of integrations with other tools such as MLFlow, Spark, Grafana or Prometheus.

MLFLow on the other hand celebrated last year 10 million downloads, being a very popular solution when it comes to machine learning. Started initially with a core function, the tool has nowadays four conceptions that include model registry or experiment tracking.

So, the main question arises: which one should you choose for Machine Learning Operations?

Kubeflow vs MLFLow is a panel discussion with Maciej Mazur - AI/ML Principal Engineer at Canonical, Kimonas Sotirchos - Kubeflow Community Working Group Lead and Engineering Manager at Canonical about:
