In addition to the extended security patches, Ubuntu Pro also provides additional tools for compliance management for customers in regulated industries.Ĭanonical said the standard Ubuntu Pro subscription, for more than five machines, covers the full set of security updates for all packages in Ubuntu. The security patches can be applied the moment they come available, without any human intervention, with the Canonical Livepatch tool that’s also included in the subscription. With Ubuntu Pro, not only is Ubuntu OS regularly patched when needed, but also more than 25,000 software packaged within Ubuntu’s repositories. To that end, Ubuntu Pro extends Canonical’s timely security updates, which traditionally issue security updates for critical CVEs within 24 hours, to more than just the main operating system. It’s available for every long-term Ubuntu release dating back to the 16.04 LTS, and covers thousands of popular, open-source applications and tools, among them Ansible, Apache Tomcat, Apache Zookeeper, Docker, Drupal, Node.js, Puppet, Power DNS, Python 2, Redis, Rust and WordPress.Ĭanonical Chief Executive Mark Shuttleworth said enterprise users have asked for better coverage of the open-source software landscape ever since it began launching LTS releases of Ubuntu, which provide five years of free security coverage. The Ubuntu Pro offering is aimed at business users that want the utmost confidence in the security of their operating systems, so they can focus more on innovation and less on fixing problems, Canonical said. Ubuntu Pro is a more comprehensive offering than the standard Ubuntu subscription, providing expanding security coverage for critical, high and medium common vulnerabilities and exposures. Ubuntu Pro is launching with a free tier for personal and small-scale users covering up to five machines, and paid subscriptions for those with larger deployments. Canonical Ltd., the company behind the popular Ubuntu Linux operating system, today announced that Ubuntu Pro for data centers and workstations, an expanded security maintenance and compliance offering that protects against a wider range of vulnerabilities and threats, is now available in public beta.
