Long-term stability for infrastructure and applicationsĪ fragmented approach to long-term maintenance is among the most significant challenges of open source adoption. Together, we give customers a foundation for trustworthy open source”. “Ubuntu Pro offers security patch assurance for a broad spectrum of open-source software. “Tenable and Canonical collaborate to provide timely, accurate and actionable vulnerability alerts”, said Robert Huber, Chief Security Officer at Tenable. Canonical Livepatch, which allows users to apply kernel security patches at run time without the need for an immediate reboot, is also included in Ubuntu Pro.Ĭanonical works with major security scanning and vulnerability management providers to ensure that information about Ubuntu Pro CVE fixes is available through widely used tooling and dashboards. Most users apply these security fixes automatically, with Ubuntu’s unattended upgrades. Patches are applied for critical, high, and selected medium CVEs, with many zero-day vulnerabilities fixed under embargo for release the moment the CVE is public. Ubuntu Pro expands this coverage to ten times the number of packages in the standard Ubuntu repositories – more than 25,000 of them.

Users can obtain a free personal Ubuntu Pro subscription at /pro for up to five machines. “By offering Ubuntu Pro on Google Compute Engine, together we help customers enhance the security and compliance for their production workloads”. “For the last decade, Google has partnered with Canonical to promote the adoption of open-source software”, said Derry Cheng, Product Manager for Compute Engine. It is already in production for large-scale customers offering global services. Ubuntu Pro is available for every Ubuntu LTS from 16.04 LTS.

Ubuntu Pro expands security coverage for critical, high and medium Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) to thousands of applications and toolchains, including Ansible, Apache Tomcat, Apache Zookeeper, Docker, Drupal, Nagios, Node.js, phpMyAdmin, Puppet, PowerDNS, Python 2, Redis, Rust, WordPress, and more.
