OpenStack Reimagined: Building a Cloud-Native Infrastructure

Air-gapped or offline networks are an increasingly common security requirement for deployments in regulated or federal environments and sovereign clouds. Today’s hyper-connected infrastructure often makes assumptions about remote systems being online and available, which break in these offline disconnected scenarios. Some of the most common issues revolve around installation packages and security updates not being accessible behind the air gap or firewall boundaries.

Landscape is Canonical’s systems management tool that enables administrators to control, monitor and update Ubuntu systems at scale. Managing assets is a key component of all security & compliance frameworks, and Landscape enables a range of security controls within an Ubuntu deployment. One feature of Landscape that is particularly relevant for air-gapped environments is package and repository mirroring, or the ability to copy packages and updates from an internet server and make them available to clients behind a firewall or air gap.

In this webinar we will cover what air-gapped environments are, why they might be a requirement in various scenarios, and how Landscape can be deployed and used to address the most common problems with distributing software packages and updates behind the air gap.

Using Landscape for Air-Gapped Ubuntu Deployments

Linux is well known for the flexibility, interoperability, and control it offers to developers. 
Building upon years of contributions from the open source community, Ubuntu is the most widely used Linux OS among professional IoT developers, according to the 2024 State of IoT Report by Eseye. 


However, using Linux on embedded and IoT devices presents a unique set of challenges compared to servers, including maintenance complexity, security risks, and deployment at scale. To address these challenges, Canonical created Ubuntu Core: a minimal, containerized, and immutable flavor of Ubuntu for embedded systems.

Like Ubuntu, Ubuntu Core is fully open source and binary-compatible, but with added features tailored specifically to the needs of devices: secure boot, full-disk encryption, confined application packages, and reliable OTA updates. Its immutable architecture simplifies compliance, enhances security, and reduces operational risk across fleets of devices.

In this webinar, we’ll cover:
Key challenges in managing IoT and edge devices at scale
Security and maintenance considerations for embedded Linux
Why Ubuntu Core is the new standard for production-grade IoT deployments

Explore the performance differences and future direction of two leading in-memory databases

Redis. Then Valkey. Now Redis and Valkey? 

Redis has long been a go-to choice for developers seeking an open source caching solution. However, in March 2024, Redis shifted to a source-available license, sparking the creation of several forks – one of the most popular being Valkey. A year later, Redis returned to open source under the AGPLv3 license, leaving many developers and organizations weighing their options between Redis and Valkey.

In this webinar, we’ll:
Dive into the differences between these two solutions and what those differences mean from a performance, operability and community engagement perspective 
Explore how the two projects might diverge further in the future
Explain how Canonical can support you in adopting, securing and scaling both open-source databases
