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

US government agencies and organizations in government-regulated industries face a huge challenge in complying with regulations and standards in order to run their workloads. AWS GovCloud and Ubuntu make it much easier to deploy missions securely in the cloud whilst remaining compatible with compliance requirements.

At Canonical we have developed the Ubuntu Security Guide (USG), a compliance as code tool that helps you automate the process of auditing your Ubuntu VMs against the relevant DISA STIG or CIS profile and generate shell scripts to remediate any potential nonconformities. 

In this webinar we will look at what additional security measures Ubuntu Pro offers, and some of the extensive range of security features provided by AWS GovCloud for government and DoD agencies and contractors. We will show how to harden and audit your Ubuntu operating system for DISA-STIG or CIS requirements, and dive into how to use AWS security services like Amazon Inspector and Amazon GuardDuty.

Raising the bar on cybersecurity with Ubuntu for AWS GovCloud

Machine learning(ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on the development of algorithms that have the ability to learn by using data. While ML gets a lot of attention, the actual implementation of ML models (their deployment and maintenance) requires much more than programming skills.

Enter MLOps

MLOps is the short term for machine learning operations. MLOps represents a set of practices that aim to simplify workflow processes and automate machine learning and deep learning deployments. For example, in the case of a smart city, a good use case is a model that automatically sends alerts when there are accidents. It constantly retrains, based on new data regarding the traffic and it behaves differently during bank holidays or during different seasons.

 MLOp accomplishes the deployment and maintenance of models reliably and efficiently for production, at a large scale. In other words, MLOps enables you to ship models faster, ensuring portability and reproducibility. 

Navigating the landscape of MLOps solutions can be daunting. There is no one size fits. If you are looking to understand current MLOps trends, join our webinar to find out how to choose the right solution and learn about Charmed Kubeflow. 

During the webinar, you will learn from Canonical’s AI experts, Maciej Mazur, Principal AI/ML Engineer, and Andreea Munteanu, MLOps Product Manager based on real customer questions and requests collected by Adrian Matei, Sales Representative.

Introduction to Machine Learning Operations ( MLOps )

Cloud cost management: how to optimise your cloud costs?

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.

An Introduction to real-time Linux

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

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

Introduction to Ubuntu Pro

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
