How on-demand Android environments turn validation into a repeatable pipeline stage In the first article, we looked at automation: how Android environments can be created and managed programmatically. In the second, we looked at scaling: how shared infrastructure can make those environments available to more developers, tests, and workloads. This third article looks at the next step: integrating those environments directly into CI/CD.

Conversational AI with a chatbot is great for drafting emails or debugging code,  but it’s less ideal for real-time application middleware. If you’re trying to inspect a financial transaction for potential fraud in the middle of a checkout loop, you don’t need an LLM to write you an essay about why a credit card transaction looks suspicious – you just need a probability score, and you need it as fast as possible.

Whether you’re a first-time Linux user, experienced developer, academic researcher, or enterprise administrator, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS Resolute Raccoon is the best way to benefit from the latest advancements in the Linux ecosystem on a stable foundation. As with all LTS releases of Ubuntu, Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS represents the consolidation of fixes and improvements identified during the initial launch of Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. It’s available to download and install from our download page.

Private 5G networks are dedicated cellular systems delivering ultra-reliable low-latency communication, massive IoT connectivity, and customized security for enterprises undergoing digital transformation. Private 5G subsumes advantages of both public and non-public networks, offering unified connectivity, optimized services, and customized security within a defined area.

A customer building a FedRAMP-compliant deployment found that Ubuntu Pro 22.04 FIPS container images were silently failing on standard, mainline Linux kernels, the kind used by managed Kubernetes environments such as AWS EKS and Fargate. The fix required a patch that preserved FIPS compliance without triggering months of recertification. This post explains what happened, why it matters for anyone running FIPS workloads in containerized cloud environments, and what Canonical changed as a result.

So you want your own pet LLM huh? Knowing where to start can be quite tricky, so luckily for you I’ve put together this end-to-end guide. It’ll get you not just started; you’ll end with a fully working chatbot that you’ve fine tuned on the dataset `nampdn-ai/tiny-webtext`, which is a training dataset designed to improve models’ critical thinking abilities. Buckle up, this is going to be both fun and deep.

How shared Android capacity helps engineering teams move beyond fixed device labs In the first blog of this series, we discussed how programmable Android environments can replace manual device preparation with a repeatable lifecycle. A workflow requests an environment with a predefined configuration, executes the required task, collects the results, and releases the resources once the work is completed. Automation enables a team to create a single Android environment reliably.

September 22, 2026, 1:35pm 1 The new Ubuntu wiki is now deployed, in production, and ready to use at wiki.ubuntu.com. You will find that it offers a modern editing experience and a lot of built-in functionality. In this post, I’ll explain what’s changing during the launch and revisit some background for the wiki project. Finally, I provide updates on new features that have landed since my last update.

We are pleased to announce that you can now attach an Ubuntu Pro subscription directly to any base image in AWS Image Builder, allowing you to create enterprise-grade custom images from the get go. Until now, getting Ubuntu Pro into a custom AMI (Amazon Machine Image) meant either starting from an Ubuntu Pro base image or manually applying a token during the build.

Anaheim, California – September 21, 2026 – Ahead of Embedded World North America, Canonical today announced the upcoming release of Zephyr 26.04 LTS, an enterprise-ready Zephyr distribution that builds on the upstream with long-term support and device management for both the core RTOS and a broader universe of microcontroller components.
