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

In this webinar, Henry Coggill will showcase USG (the Ubuntu Security Guide) and demonstrate how it can automate compliance requirements. We will discuss the hardening profiles that are available, including DISA-STIG and CIS benchmarks, then cover setting up and configuring the tool and demonstrate the configuration options that you can make for maximum security and coverage of the STIG rules.

USG is available with an Ubuntu Pro subscription, and we will show you what extra features and capabilities that are included with Pro, such as extended security vulnerability patching and FIPS-140 certified crypto modules.

Confidential computing is a revolutionary technology that disrupts the conventional threat model of public clouds. In the past, vulnerabilities within the extensive codebase of the cloud’s privileged system software, including the operating system and hypervisor, could pose a constant risk to the confidentiality and integrity of code and data in operation. Likewise, unauthorized access by a cloud administrator could compromise the security of your virtual machine (VM). 

To protect your data and code against such threats on Google Cloud, Ubuntu Confidential VMs (CVMs) offer enhanced security for your workloads by utilizing hardware-protected Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). To achieve such strong security guarantees, Ubuntu Confidential VMs build on Intel’s innovations at the silicon level, and the foundation laid by Intel® Trust Domain Extensions (Intel® TDX), now available through Google Cloud.  Ubuntu also offers further primitives to further secure your CVMs at rest, and offer a strong remote attestation.  

Come join this webinar to learn about the great engineering that goes into making Ubuntu confidential VMs with Intel TDX on Google Cloud, and how you use them to implement a zero trust strategy for your security-sensitive application.

Across the world, the application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) to business challenges is a hot topic. But, what does it mean for storage systems, and how can open source storage answer those needs? Without data, and speedy access to it, AI solutions might not deliver the results as quickly as expected, delaying insights and innovation. Canonical Ceph is a great example of a highly scalable open source storage solution that can be used to back modern AI/ML workflows and unlock the full potential of your AI ecosystem.
In this webinar we will explore typical use cases for external storage for AI systems, the workflows, the impact AI has on storage systems, and also the impact that storage systems can have on your AI jobs.

There are benefits to using a specialised database for every new use case you need to support. For example, we can make a case for using a graph database to manipulate graph data, or a specialised vector database to manage vectors. Yet, multiplying your data stores comes with consistency, cost and operability issues that you need to consider carefully.

PostgreSQL is built from the ground up to be extensible, so you can choose from over 1000 extensions to cover more use cases with the same solution – saving you time and resources.

In this webinar, we will examine the use cases you can meet with just PostgreSQL.We will cover the following:
Analytics 
Online transaction processing 
Geospatial data
Graph data 
Search and similarity
AI and ML 
Time Series and more

How many use cases can you cover with PostgreSQL extensions?

If you’re a technology channel organization, you and your customers are probably considering  alternatives for virtualized environments amid shifting market forces, escalating costs, and vendor realignment. The solution needs to be cost-efficient while providing comparable technical capabilities to the status quo. In this webinar, you’ll learn how Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu) fills that need and the ease of reselling the solution. 

Open source private clouds can offer alternatives for everything in your customers’ stack. From virtualization to Hypervisor to storage and more. Canonical offers a cost-effective open source cloud approach that provides a rich set of capabilities and a migration path from existing cloud environments. 

This webinar is for technology companies in the channel that are proactive in creating better solutions for their customers and whose customers are struggling with finding alternatives to their current virtualized environments. Canonical wants to help you get in front of customers with solutions that will free them from the lock-in of legacy Hypervisor vendors.

In this webinar you’ll learn:
- The capabilities of Open Source Private Cloud compared to alternatives
- Reselling Open Source Private Cloud solutions to your customers
- Price Point Comparison between Canonical and alternatives
- The growth of open source for clouds

Private Cloud Alternatives for Channel Partners

Deploying a PostgreSQL instance on Ubuntu is as simple as running a single command (i.e. sudo apt install postgresql-<version>). Yet, running a single instance of PostgreSQL is a recipe for downtime and reputation damage to your company.

To run a highly available PostgreSQL deployment you need to leverage several techniques such as replication, automatic failovers, failure isolation and backups. 

In this webinar, we will examine advanced techniques to implement fail-safe replication and automatic fail-overs. We will cover the following:
Replication techniques
Automatic fail-over techniques on client and server side
Demo

Each type of NoSQL database offers unique strengths and is suited to specific types of applications and data requirements, making them versatile tools in modern data management. Many of them are compatible with an open source approach, giving you advantages such as the acceleration of innovation, flexibility, customisation, and community support. There are also innovations in the space where databases can run in a multi-cloud environment. 
However, these features and benefits come with their own set of challenges, and operating database clusters can be difficult. In addition, databases need to be integrated within a stack of technologies, such as the infrastructure it is deployed on and other data and AI tools. Faced with these and other challenges (like unpredictable costs and industry skill gaps), companies are finding it increasingly difficult to achieve operational excellence with an in-house team to manage databases. This is why they turn to managed service providers (MSPs).

In this webinar, Canonical product managers Michelle Tabirao (NoSQL Databases) and Adrian Matei (Managed Services) will dive into what operational excellence means for NoSQL Databases, and how this can be achieved with a managed service provider. We will explore: 

1) Introduction and main advantages of adopting NoSQL databases
2) Big data and AI use cases that leverage non-relational databases
3) Operational excellence in NoSQL Databases, from key operations to holistic approaches 
4) Benefits and challenges when choosing a managed service provider for your NoSQL database operations 
5) Future of NoSQL databases

Join us on the 18th of June 2024 for 30 minutes of expertise in NoSQL operations!

Managed NoSQL databases for big data and AI-powered applications
