The industrial automation landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by a fundamental shift in how software solutions are developed and deployed. In the past, many factories had in-house IT expertise to build and maintain their basic software stacks, the present reality is quite different. Small-scale factories often lack the IT know-how to ma

Running databases like MongoDB in public, private and hybrid environments provides multiple benefits. Kubernetes provides the additional advantages of portability, reduced vendor lock-in, DevOps friendliness, scalability and cost-effectiveness.

Rest assured that the Ubuntu security team will continue to maintain important security fixes in OpenSSL

If you’ve been following my previous blog posts, you already know that the automotive industry is changing faster than ever. Updating software and firmware in vehicles is one area that’s particularly challenging and in flux.  Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA) updates can be quite a puzzle when it comes to updating entire vehicle fleets. That’s

Today, around 96% of software projects utilize open source in some way. The web team here at Canonical is passionate about Open source.

Opposites attract.  Stateful and stateless. Storage and container management systems are almost polar opposites of each other.  One deals with permanently storing, and protecting data for as long as it’s needed.  The other automatically manages highly dynamic workloads, scaling resources up and down as required.   More organisations are t
