Learn why Ubuntu is the preferred Linux platform and how Canonical can help you make the most out of your Ubuntu environment.

Join this webinar and start 2023 with a strong security posture!

You’ve probably heard of Linux, but maybe you’re not quite sure what it is, what you can do with it, and, more importantly, whether you can trust it to run your next project.

In our first webinar of the new year, Canonical’s Ijlal Loutfi and Henry Coggill will discuss the security of Linux and Ubuntu. We’ll start with the basics of why the operating system is important and how it underpins the integrity of any applications running on top. We will provide background information as to what Linux is, for those who might be unfamiliar with its history, and discuss how open-source software is developed and bundled into distributions.

We will discuss how the open source ecosystem deals with security vulnerabilities, how they are discovered and fixed, and how end users react to this perpetual dance. Then we will go deeper into the range of security technology built into Ubuntu and what this means for protection against unknown threats. Finally, we will explore how Canonical’s enterprise-grade support delivers a comprehensive platform for secure open-source adoption.

Agenda
 - Why the operating system underpins the security of any application
 - What a Linux distribution is, and what Ubuntu is
 - Security vulnerabilities, and how they relate to open source software
 - Patching applications and the Linux kernel
 - Canonical’s Extended Security Maintenance
 - Other security features built into Linux
 - Live Q&A

Is Linux secure?

Protect your sensitive data and enable new business models

Do you get the feeling that your business is not truly utilising the data it has, and that it is losing valuable business insights and revenue-generating opportunities because of that? 
You’re not alone. A big part of business data is security-sensitive and/or regulated. Running naive analytics on it, sharing it with third parties,  or just processing it in the cloud is bound to put its confidentiality and integrity at risk. So you just don’t do it.
In this webinar, we will introduce you to confidential computing, a privacy-enhancing technology which allows you to resolve the tension between computation and privacy. Confidential computing improves data protection at run time in the public cloud, even against its shared privileged system software. It helps you unlock value from vast troves of data and build innovative business models. 
To learn more about how your business can leverage confidential computing, join us in this webinar, where Ijlal Loutfi and Srikrishna ‘Kris’ Sharma will discuss the following: 
- Why run-time security is important
- Introduction to confidential computing
- The new confidential public cloud
- Confidential collaborative computing uses cases within financial services:
       * Credit scoring
       * Know Your Customer (KYC)
       * Fraud detection
- Get started with Ubuntu confidential VMs

Developing AI/ML models is not a novelty for most organisations. But controlling their behaviour is still challenging.  It’s essential to tune models correctly in order to avoid getting suboptimal results. To address this need, MLOps platforms started including dedicated solutions. 

What is hyperparameter tuning?

Hyperparameters are used for computing model parameters. They are specific to the algorithm used for modelling. Their value cannot be calculated from the data. They are different from model parameters, which are learned or estimated by the algorithm and continue to update their values during the training process. 

Hyperparameter tuning is the process of finding a set of optimal hyperparameter values for a learning algorithm. It is necessary to obtain an optimised algorithm, on any data set.

Join our webinar to learn about:
- Hyperparameter tuning
- MLOps’ role in hyperparameter tuning
- How you can use Kubeflow for this process

Speakers:
Michal Hucko - Charmed Kubeflow engineer
Andreea Munteanu - MLOps Product Manager

Gartner estimates that by 2025, 75% of data will be processed outside of the traditional data centre or cloud. This shift means  that technical business leaders need to define their edge computing strategy to stay ahead of the curve. 

If you are currently working on your edge strategy, or simply are interested in learning about various edge computing technologies, this is an opportunity to hear more about micro clouds. 

A micro cloud is a new class of infrastructure for on-demand computing at the edge. Micro clouds trade the exponential scalability of public and private clouds for security, privacy, governance, and low-latency, decentralised edge computing environments. Micro clouds differ from IoT, which uses thousands of single machines or sensors to gather data but does not perform computing tasks. Instead, a micro cloud reuses proven cloud primitives but with the unattended, autonomous and clustering features that resolve typical edge computing challenges.

In this session, you will learn:
1) What micro clouds are and why they should be a part of your edge strategy.
2) Common micro cloud challenges and how to tackle them. 
3) Practical considerations for edge site deployments.
4) Technical features of a micro cloud.
5) How to deploy your own micro cloud.
