From autonomous cars to factories: how data processing at the edge will transform automotive companies.
 
Automotive is at the forefront of innovation, but challenges always come with change. One of those challenges is processing data in decentralised environments like factories or vehicles. 

In this webinar, you will learn about automotive use cases that require local data processing for confidential reasons, or simply due to networking constraints. We will also discuss what edge clouds bring to the table and how Canonical’s MicroCloud addresses the automotive industry’s edge computing challenges.

Join us to hear about:
- The challenges that the automotive industry faces when it comes to handling huge amounts of data
- The difference between edge computing and edge clouds
- MicroCloud and its key advantages: low-maintenance, ease of deployment and resource efficiency.

Exploring edge computing in automotive

Businesses traditionally deploy local area networks (LAN), such as WiFi, to provide network connectivity to their infrastructure and users. These networks can be flexibly deployed at low cost but are limited in their performance and security capabilities. Furthermore, businesses often need to support seamless connectivity for a large number of devices and users, despite their location and mobility characteristics on site. 

Private mobile networks (PMN) provide an alternative. With PMNs, network systems that control data communications are deployed on site. This provides superior performance  compared to traditional LAN solutions and public mobile networks whose software runs in a distant geographical location. Business applications that carry user and device data can enjoy reduced latency when interacting with back-end systems running on platforms hosted by an enterprise. 

Having a dedicated mobile network for your business means that the deployment and planning of the network can be optimised for your specific needs. Your business application requirements  can now dictate how the network should operate but not vice versa. Configuring the network according to business requirements means you’re in a better position to meet customer needs. 

In this webinar, we will talk about private mobile networks and edge computing in more detail, and explain how this technology provides benefits to various industry sectors. We will go through:

A technology overview of private mobile networks
Sector requirements for PMN solutions
Advancements in mobile networking that deliver PMNs with better edge computing capabilities

Canonical provides industry leading solutions for edge computing. You will learn about how our products and solutions can deliver the efficiency, reliability and security your business needs.

Enhanced edge computing for business applications with private mobile networks

In the world of IoT, it is crucial to be fully in control of your devices. Over-the-air (OTA) updates are essential for a distributed set of devices but must be carefully managed to ensure that an update is not pushed at a time where the device is active and operation should not be interrupted. To enable this level of control, we have developed the Snap Store Proxy, an on-premise edge proxy to the general Snap Store that can do more than simply managing updates. Join Holly Hall, Product Lead at Canonical and Przemysław Suliga, Software Engineer at Canonical, to gain an understanding of the features and applications of the Snap Store Proxy, with a technical demonstration of how to set up, configure and use the proxy to control updates.

A technical introduction to the Snap Store Proxy

Move to the cloud, they said. It will be fun, they said.

So you decided to do so, but now you’re facing an eternal dilemma: use one of the existing public cloud platforms or build your own? You ask yourself more questions:  Which option is more convenient for your use case? Which one is more cost-effective? How do you preserve digital sovereignty regardless of the choice?

These are all good questions. We will cover them in this webinar. However, what you’re really searching for is more elementary. It is about how you can make use of available cloud technologies to meet your organisations’ needs. In other words, how you can do computing, your way?

Join our webinar on 22 November at 12 PM CET. 

During this webinar we will show you a “do it yourself” approach to cloud infrastructure implementation. By using mature open source technologies we will demonstrate the path towards your own production-grade cloud, preserving digital sovereignty and ensuring cost-effectiveness, while maintaining the versatility provided by global tech giants.

OpenStack is the world's most popular open source cloud platform and its adoption continues to grow exponentially every year. It serves as an extension or a reasonable alternative to hyperscalers, effectively addressing cloud cost optimisation concerns. But at the same time, OpenStack adoption has always been a challenge. Hence through this webinar, we want to help you get started with OpenStack.

In this webinar we will:
1) Discuss the current status of the cloud computing market
2) Delve into the world of OpenStack - the most popular open source cloud platform
3) Walk you through OpenStack’s high-level architecture, its services and their functions
4) Teach you how to get started and break the ice with OpenStack immediately

What is OpenStack and why does it matter?

Edge clouds are one of the main building blocks of modern telecom infrastructure, bringing performance and cost-efficiency to telecom systems, and better user experience in network services. By deploying cloud computing capabilities closer to where users and end-devices are located, a telco operator can run its services more effectively, benefiting from reduced latency in delivering services to consumer devices and business systems. Furthermore, edge computing capabilities enabled at an edge cloud bring a plethora of business applications to users and devices running on cloud-native environments as micro services.

Kubernetes systems provide modern cloud-native execution environments for software applications, and are getting increasingly more popular in the telco sector in recent years, thanks to their self-healing and container orchestration capabilities. The flexibility and scalability of kubernetes makes it ideal for micro-services based 5G mobile networks, and multi-access edge computing (MEC) applications. 

In this webinar, Canonical and Spectro Cloud will explain how their combined telco edge cloud solution provides automation, scalability, and flexibility to operate edge clouds with Kubernetes on bare metal for the best application performance. 

Join us to find out how you can address common challenges, such as:

Bare metal automation at scale to reduce operational costs and deployments times
Meeting security compliance requirements such as timely security patches, confined execution spaces, and tenant isolation 
A repeatable pattern in deployments and centralised management

Speakers:
Serdar Vural, Telco Product Manager at Canonical 
Pedro Oliveira, Senior Solutions Architect at Spectro Cloud.

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

In this webinar Oliver Smith, Product Manager for Ubuntu, and Aaron Prisk, Community Engineer and former IT Director for a US K-12 educational institution, will share their thoughts and experiences on the role of Ubuntu in Education.

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
