With 12 years of support, Landscape 24.04 LTS adds snap and repository management controls to a modernised systems management web portal and API.

London, 30 April 2024.

Today Canonical announced the availability of Landscape’s first LTS release. Landscape 24.04 LTS features a new versioned API, a new web portal with accessibility and performance in mind, and intuitive controls for software distribution. Landscape 24.04 LTS comprises Landscape Server and Landscape Client. With a modernised backend and web portal in place, engineering teams can work efficiently, focusing on patches and new features.

Predictable release cadence and 12 years of support for LTS versions

Building on Canonical’s commitment to reliability, Landscape releases going forward will align with Ubuntu LTS and interim releases for predictable security coverage, feature patches, and bug fixes.

Landscape Server 24.04 can be installed on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS releases with Ubuntu Pro. Landscape Server 24.04 is compatible with the previous four Ubuntu LTS releases (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS onwards), and will manage future Ubuntu releases including Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.

Like Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, this Landscape release gets a 12 year commitment for security maintenance and support. Landscape 24.04 LTS will get five years of bug fixes and incremental feature patches until August 2029. Ubuntu Pro subscribers can continue using Landscape 24.04 LTS after these 5 years for a total of 12 years, with the Legacy Support add-on.

A new web portal built with Canonical’s Vanilla Framework

Vanilla Framework provides consistent and uniform design patterns across Canonical’s products. Landscape joins MAAS, LXD UI, and others with a responsive React JS driven user interface. This web portal is built using a new versioned API serving JSON data. This API enhancement ensures seamless integration for developers, offering a forward-looking assurance that applications developed with a particular API version will remain robust and reliable, regardless of future updates to Landscape and its accompanying API endpoints.

The Monitoring feature from the legacy Landscape web portal has not yet been migrated to Landscape 24.04 LTS, yet. Monitoring will arrive as an incremental patch for Landscape 24.04 LTS with a modern charting library, a monitoring API, and companion documentation.

Lastly, the web portal provides a significant improvement in Lighthouse scores for Accessibility. The dashboard’s accessibility scores as measured by Lighthouse improved from 70% to 95%. Landscape 24.04 LTS has a web portal which is accessible to users with deficiencies in colour vision, complete colour blindness, and other visual impairments.

Save terabytes in storage and bandwidth with point-in-time repository snapshots

Landscape’s new web portal includes an intuitive point-and-click repository mirroring experience, and the repository snapshot service is available as a source when mirroring repositories. In late 2023, Canonical became the first Linux provider to integrate a repository snapshot service with Microsoft Azure’s update mechanisms. Landscape 24.04 LTS brings this simplified and safe deployment practice capability on-premises, and to mixed and hybrid cloud environments.

Benefits of Landscape’s repository snapshot service include predictable updates, consistency across deployments, and simplified repository mirroring, providing improved resilience and security for Ubuntu workloads.

Beyond the conveniences afforded to system administrators, the repository snapshots implementation also saves over 100 terabytes of disk space and network throughput, for organisations making complete repository mirrors every week. Canonical’s on-demand repository snapshot capability extends back to February 2023 for non-ESM (Expanded Security Maintenance) repositories. This innovation frees storage and network resources, because scheduled mirroring and archival of these mirrors becomes unnecessary.

Snap management for Ubuntu and Ubuntu Core

Beyond managing Ubuntu interim and LTS releases, Landscape 24.04 LTS also manages Ubuntu Core, Canonical’s snap based, immutable and strictly-confined operating system. A strictly confined Landscape Client snap package provides snap package management, remote script execution, monitoring and inventory capabilities to Ubuntu, for anyone interested in consuming the latest Landscape Client as a snap package.

Snap management capabilities also exist in the Landscape Client Debian package, available in the Main repository for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and in ppa:landscape/self-hosted-24.04 for previous versions of Ubuntu.

Distribution of updated snap revisions is controlled through the Snap Store, which organisations can self-host as a snap store proxy, or as a brand store if there is a need to distribute proprietary non-public snaps within the organisation. Snap management in Landscape 24.04 LTS can add, remove, update, and pause updates from Snap Store, snap store proxy, and brand stores.

Landscape has historically provided fine grained management of Debian packages installed through the apt package manager. With Landscape 24.04 LTS, similar management capabilities arrive for snap packages, with consideration for revisions and channels, which are specific to the snap ecosystem. By default, snap packages self-update through transactional over-the-air updates, and have the ability to rollback automatically if the upgrade fails. Organisations and individuals interested in uniformity across machines can pin revisions of a snap to machines, and ensure consistency between machines that must be uniformly configured.

Canonical’s 10th Long Term Supported release sets a new standard in performance engineering, enterprise security and developer experience.

London, 25 April 2024.

Today Canonical announced the release of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, codenamed “Noble Numbat”, available to download and install from https://ubuntu.com/download.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS builds on the advancements of the last three interim releases as well as the contributions of open source developers from around the world to ensure a secure, optimised and forward looking platform.

“Ubuntu 24.04 LTS takes a bold step into performance engineering and confidential computing to deliver an enterprise-grade innovation platform, supported for at least 12 years”, said Mark Shuttleworth, CEO of Canonical. “For developers we are delighted to announce TCK certified Java, an LTS for .NET and the latest Rust toolchain.”

Performance engineering tools pre-enabled and pre-loaded

Canonical is dedicated to raising the bar for quality and performance across the entire Ubuntu ecosystem. 

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS delivers the latest Linux 6.8 kernel with improved syscall performance, nested KVM support on ppc64el, and access to the newly landed bcachefs filesystem. In addition to upstream improvements, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS has merged low-latency kernel features into the default kernel, reducing kernel task scheduling delays.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS also enables frame pointers by default on all 64-bit architectures so that performance engineers have ready access to accurate and complete flame graphs as they profile their systems for troubleshooting and optimisation.

“Frame pointers allow more complete CPU profiling and off-CPU profiling. The performance wins that these can provide far outweigh the comparatively tiny loss in performance. Ubuntu enabling frame pointers by default will be a huge win for performance engineering and the default developer experience”, said Brendan Gregg, Computer Performance Expert and Fellow at Intel. Tracing with bpftrace is now standard in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, alongside pre-existing profiling tools to provide site reliability engineers with immediate access to essential resources.

Integrated workload accelerators bring additional performance improvements. Canonical and Intel worked together to integrate Intel® QuickAssist Technology (Intel® QAT) for the first time ever in an LTS. Intel QAT enables users to accelerate encryption and compression in order to reduce CPU utilisation and improve networking and storage application performance on 4th Gen and newer Intel Xeon Scalable processors. 

“Ubuntu is a natural fit to enable the most advanced Intel features. Canonical and Intel have a shared philosophy of enabling performance and security at scale across platforms”, said Mark Skarpness, Vice President and General Manager of System Software Engineering at Intel.

Increased developer productivity with LTS toolchains

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS includes Python 3.12, Ruby 3.2, PHP 8.3 and Go 1.22 with additional focus dedicated to the developer experience for .NET, Java and Rust.

With the introduction of .NET 8, Ubuntu is taking a significant step forward in supporting the .NET community. NET 8 will be fully supported on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS for the entire lifecycle of both releases, enabling developers to upgrade their applications to newer .NET versions prior to upgrading their Ubuntu release. This .NET support has also been extended to the IBM System Z platform.

“We are pleased about the release of Canonical Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and the increased performance, developer productivity, and security that it provides our joint customers,” said Jeremy Winter, Corporate Vice President, Azure Cloud Native. “Ubuntu is an endorsed Linux distro on Microsoft Azure, and an important component for many of Microsoft’s technologies, including .NET, Windows Subsystem for Linux, Azure Kubernetes Service, and Azure confidential computing. Microsoft and Canonical have a close engineering relationship spanning everything from update infrastructure in Azure to developer tooling, notably .NET 8 which is part of the Noble Numbat release from day one. We look forward to continuing our strong collaboration with Canonical to enhance developer productivity and provide a robust experience for Ubuntu on Azure.”

For Java developers, OpenJDK 21 is the default in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS while maintaining support for versions 17, 11, and 8. OpenJDK 17 and 21 are also TCK certified, which means they  adhere to Java standards and ensure interoperability with other Java platforms. A special FIPS-compliant OpenJDK 11 package is also available for Ubuntu Pro users.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ships with Rust 1.75 and a simpler Rust toolchain snap framework. This will support the increasing use of Rust in key Ubuntu packages, like the kernel and Firefox, and enables future Rust versions to be delivered to developers on 24.04 LTS in years to come.

New management tools for Ubuntu Desktop and WSL

For the first time in an LTS, Ubuntu Desktop now uses the same installer technology as Ubuntu Server. This means that desktop administrators can now use image customisation tools like autoinstall and cloud-init to create tailored experiences for their developers. The user interface has also received a makeover, with a modern design built in Flutter.

For those managing mixed Windows and Ubuntu environments, the Active Directory Group Policy client available via Ubuntu Pro now supports enterprise proxy configuration, privilege management and remote script execution.

Canonical continues to invest in Ubuntu on Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) as a first class platform for developers and data scientists. Starting with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Ubuntu on WSL now supports cloud-init to enable image customisation and standardisation across developer estates.

Confidential computing on the cloud and private data centres

Confidential computing secures data at runtime from vulnerabilities within the host privileged system software, including the hypervisor. It also protects data against unauthorised access by 

infrastructure administrators. Today, Ubuntu offers the most extensive portfolio of confidential virtual machines, available across Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Amazon Web Services.

Ubuntu is also the first and only Linux distribution to support confidential GPUs on the public cloud, starting with a preview on Microsoft Azure. Building on the silicon innovation of NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs and AMD 4th Gen EPYC processors with SEV-SNP, Ubuntu  confidential VMs are ideal to perform AI training and inference tasks on sensitive data.

Ubuntu also supports confidential computing in private data centres. Thanks to a strategic collaboration between Intel and Canonical, Ubuntu now seamlessly supports Intel® Trust Domain Extensions (Intel® TDX) on both the host and guest sides, starting with an Intel-optimised Ubuntu 23.10 build.  With no changes required to the application layer, VM isolation with Intel TDX greatly simplifies the porting and migration of existing workloads to a confidential computing environment.

12 years of support with new Ubuntu Pro add-on 

To meet the needs of Canonical’s enterprise customers, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS gets a 12 year commitment for security maintenance and support. As with other long term supported releases, Noble Numbat will get five years of free security maintenance on the main Ubuntu repository. Ubuntu Pro extends that commitment to 10 years on both the main and universe repositories. Ubuntu Pro subscribers can purchase an extra two years with the Legacy Support add-on. 

The 12 year commitment also applies to earlier Ubuntu releases, starting with 14.04 LTS. The LTS expansion offers benefits for individuals and organisations who want to gain even more stability while building on top of Ubuntu’s wide array of open source software libraries.

As the maintainer and lead developer of Netplan, I’m proud to announce the general availability of Netplan v1.0 after more than 7 years of development efforts. Over the years, we’ve had approximately 80 individual contributors from around the globe. This includes many contributions from our Netplan core-team at Canonical as well as organisations like Microsoft and Deutsche Telekom. Those contributions, alongside the many we receive from our community of individual contributors, solidify Netplan as an active and trusted open source project. To make Netplan even more dependable, we have also started shipping upstream patch releases, such as 0.106.1 and 0.107.1, which make it easier to integrate fixes into our users’ custom workflows.

With the release of version 1.0 the team have focused on stability. Being a major version upgrade, it allowed us to drop some long-standing legacy code from the libnetplan1 library. Removing this technical debt increases the maintainability of Netplan’s codebase going forward. The upcoming Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Debian 13 releases will ship Netplan v1.0 to millions of users worldwide.

Netplan 1.0 highlights

In addition to stability and maintainability improvements, it’s worth looking at some of the new features that were also included in the latest release:

• Simultaneous WPA2 & WPA3 support.
• Introduction of a stable libnetplan1 API.
• Mellanox VF-LAG support for high performance SR-IOV networking.
• New hairpin and port-mac-learning settings, useful for VXLAN tunnels with FRRouting.
• New netplan status –diff subcommand, finding differences between configuration and system state.

I’d also like to shed some light on new functionality that was integrated within the past two years for those upgrading from the previous Ubuntu 22.04 LTS which used Netplan v0.104:

• We added support for the management of new network interface types, such as veth, dummy, VXLAN, VRF or InfiniBand (IPoIB). 
• Wireless functionality was improved by integrating Netplan with NetworkManager on desktop systems, adding support for WPA3 and adding the notion of a regulatory-domain, to choose proper frequencies for specific regions. 
• To improve maintainability, we moved to Meson as Netplan’s buildsystem, added upstream CI coverage for multiple Linux distributions and integrations (such as Debian testing, NetworkManager, snapd or cloud-init), checks for ABI compatibility, and automatic memory leak detection. 
• We increased consistency between the supported backend renderers (systemd-networkd and NetworkManager), by matching physical network interfaces on permanent MAC address when the match.macaddress setting is being used, and added new hardware offloading functionality for high performance networking, such as Single-Root IO Virtualisation virtual function link-aggregation (SR-IOV VF-LAG).

The much improved Netplan documentation, that is now hosted on “Read the Docs”, and new command line subcommands, such as netplan status, make Netplan an accessible tool for declarative network management and troubleshooting.

Further integrations

Those changes pave the way to integrate Netplan into 3rd party projects, such as system installers or cloud deployment methods. By shipping the new python3-netplan Python bindings to libnetplan, it is now easier than ever to access Netplan functionality and network validation from other projects. We are proud that the Debian Cloud Team chose Netplan to be the default network management tool in their official cloud-images for Debian Bookworm and beyond. Ubuntu’s NetworkManager package now uses Netplan as it’s default backend on Ubuntu 23.10 Desktop systems and beyond. Further integrations happened with cloud-init and the Calamares installer.

Are you looking for VMware alternatives?

Think open source – the world’s leading software portfolio. Open-source software enables you to build fully functional virtualisation and cloud infrastructure while ensuring total cost of ownership (TCO) reduction and business continuity. In this blog, we will walk you through the open source ecosystem. We will help you understand how it differs from other VMware alternatives by answering five common questions.

What is open source?

Open source is a generic term for any software released under a licence that allows its unlimited redistribution and modification. It is available for everyone, people can use it free of charge, and everyone can contribute to its development. Unlike VMware software or its proprietary alternatives, there is no single entity that owns open source. Instead, it is usually created under the governance of independent foundations. Those associate individuals, universities, research institutions and large enterprises from various parts of the world.

So you can think of open source as a collection of software meeting those criteria. There is no single place where this “collection” is hosted, however. Open-source software is distributed across numerous code repositories on GitHub, SourceForge, Launchpad, etc. Fortunately, leading Linux distributions provide streamlined access to this software. By making applications and infrastructure components available in the form of software packages, they serve as open source integration platforms.

Ubuntu, published by Canonical, is the world’s leading open source integration platform  Preferred by 66% of developers and endorsed by executives, Ubuntu powers one-third of all Linux-based web servers worldwide and its market share in the infrastructure space constantly increases. Ubuntu provides immediate access to tens of thousands of software packages and ensures a human-friendly interface to install and use open source.

Why open source over other VMware alternatives?

So obviously, open-source solutions are just one of the available VMware alternatives. Several proprietary solutions exist too. These include leading public clouds, premium versions of Proxmox Virtual Environment (VE), Citrix Hypervisor, Hyper-V, etc. What makes open source better, then?

In short, the benefits of open source can be summarised in the following five bullet points:

• TCO reduction – since open-source software does not require attaching any expensive licences, standardising on open source leads to significant cost savings over time.
• No vendor lock-in – with open source, you are no longer dependent on a single vendor; the software is developed by the entire community, consisting of thousands of developers.
• Innovation advances – the development pace of open-source software is way higher than for proprietary software companies, which helps you to stay at the forefront of the technology.
• Higher software quality – open-source software usually passes through a rigorous software development process which results in higher quality and better security.
• Community collaboration – since billions of people worldwide use open source daily, enterprises can benefit from fantastic community collaboration through numerous industry conferences, technical forums, knowledge bases, etc.

No wonder open source is becoming the new standard. And this trend will only intensify in the following years.

Is open source suitable for enterprises?

Yes, it is. There is no reason why it wouldn’t be. All of the benefits mentioned above speak in favour of open source.

However, enterprises need not just software but all types of commercial services around it. For example, companies might not have enough time to experiment with the software. They would rather hire external consultants to deploy IT systems for them so that they could start using them immediately. Or they cannot rely solely on community support if their business applications are expected to run 24/7. 

Canonical understands those challenges and provides a complete package of optional commercial services for businesses willing to adopt open source on Ubuntu. This includes design and delivery services for open-source solutions, enterprise support, fully-managed services for both infrastructure and application, and comprehensive training courses. By partnering with Canonical, enterprises can rest assured that their migration to open source will be hassle-free and stressless.

Telcos, big banks, government institutions and leading companies in the industrial space are all examples of organisations that have successfully completed their digital transformation with open source. There is no reason why your company shouldn’t join this club.

How to build a cloud with open source?

Unlike VMware or its proprietary alternatives, there is no single open-source monolith that provides all the capabilities in a single place. Instead, several independent components exist that, added together, can serve as a cloud.

Think of it through an analogy to Lego. Let’s say that you want to build a car with Lego. There are many pieces in the box. Each piece doesn’t look like a car. However, when you start mounting them together, you will quickly see an engine, wheels, seats, etc. And even more importantly, you can choose to build a Coupe, Sedan, SUV or even a track! A car that you designed according to your needs.

The same applies when building cloud infrastructure with open source. By using various independent software components, you can build a simple virtualisation environment, an ordinary Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) cloud, a Container-as-a-Service (CaaS) cloud or even a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform. Then you can extend its functionality with live migration capabilities, automated power management, observability, etc. to ensure feature parity with your existing VMware infrastructure.

How to move to open source?

Preferably by a trusted partner. Canonical provides free access to all necessary open-source components that will help you to build cloud infrastructure tailored to your needs. Moreover, the most demanding organisations can leverage Canonical’s professional services, which include analysis of existing workloads, designing the right migration strategy to avoid service downtimes and ensure business continuity, etc.

The migration away from VMware is not a trivial task. No one claims it is. However, by choosing open source over other VMware alternatives and by standardising on the right open source integration platform, you can be assured that your migration is not only going to be painless but also that your organisation will see long-term benefits, such as increased innovation and TCO reduction.

Canonical is pleased to announce that Ubuntu Server is optimised and fully supported on IBM LinuxONE 4 Express – the newest addition to IBM’s world-leading LinuxONE server family.

The previous model in the Express series, IBM LinuxONE III Express, was immensely popular, and brought the power of LinuxONE to a wider audience than ever. IBM LinuxONE 4 Express builds on this success by taking advantage of the latest LinuxONE 4 technology to drive new levels of efficiency and sustainability. Users can gain even more value from the new IBM hardware by pairing it with Ubuntu Server, benefiting from bespoke optimisation and comprehensive and cost-effective support. 

Next-generation IBM server

With the shift from LinuxONE III to LinuxONE 4 technology, IBM LinuxONE 4 Express benefits from the same advances in security and performance that we’ve already seen in IBM LinuxONE Rockhopper 4 and IBM LinuxONE Emperor 4.

Rebasing on the latest LinuxONE 4 offering means that the new upgraded peripherals are available, including OSA Express 7S, FICON Express 32S and RoCE Express 3, as well as new options like secure boot and Secure Execution for Linux, and the IBM Telum chip for AI acceleration. What’s more, IBM’s hardware maintenance, IBM Technology Lifecycle Services (TLS), has been simplified to 8% of the hardware price (Y1 under warranty) for all geographies.

LinuxONE 4 Express remains focused on the core principles that have made the Express server line so successful, with new advances in:

• Simplicity: Due to evolved management options (like DPM), preconfigured design and modern Linux capabilities, LinuxONE 4 Express is now even easier to deploy and operate.
• Price: The even lower entry-level LinuxONE 4 Express price makes LinuxONE more accessible than ever to a new and growing market.
• Route: IBM has added new purchasing options to address clients via Business Partner Agreements (BPAs) and independent software vendors (ISVs)
• Flexibility: With more and differently sized hardware options available, customers can choose the perfect fit for their data centre and plan for growth. It’s even possible to scale within a single rack…

A preconfigured LinuxONE 4 Express system is a rack-mounted entry-model that comes with up to 16 IFLs – but can be upgraded (via MES) to any of the available LinuxONE 4 sizes. The frame can accommodate the rack-mounted and mid-size LinuxONE Rockhopper 4, with up to 68 IFLs (Max68), and eventually up to a full-blown, multi-frame LinuxONE Emperor 4 system with up to 200 IFLs (Max200).

Last but not least, LinuxONE 4 is the perfect option to elevate your sustainability strategy, as it offers significant performance improvements without increasing energy consumption. In fact, IBM LinuxONE Emperor 4 won the Sustainable Product Award at the SEAL 2022 Business Sustainability Awards. 

Make the most of LinuxONE 4 Express with Ubuntu

We’ve seen that LinuxONE 4 Express brings a host of new capabilities to the table, but to take full advantage of these features you need an operating system that supports them – and this is where Ubuntu Server comes in.

Building on the long-standing partnership between IBM and Canonical, Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS, and the upcoming 24.04 LTS, were designed in parallel with IBM’s server technology to support the complete range of LinuxONE 4 features. Out-of-the-box support enables Ubuntu users to unlock the full potential of IBM LinuxONE 4 Express from day one, and maximise resource utilisation for a highly efficient system.

Complementing the flexibility of IBM LinuxONE 4 Express, Ubuntu Server can be deployed in LPAR, as an IBM z/VM guest, as a KVM virtual machine, and in different container environments such as LXD, Docker or Kubernetes.

Cost-effective, full-stack support

Ubuntu Server adds further cost-savings to the LinuxONE Express offering thanks to Canonical’s distinctive pricing model for enterprise support. Canonical’s support subscription,  Ubuntu Pro, is available either through a per IFL model (like with most vendors), but also per drawer. Both a LinuxONE 4 Express system and a LinuxONE Rockhopper 4 each only count as a single drawer, regardless of the number of active IFLs. This means that you can run up to 68 IFLs on a LinuxONE Rockhopper 4 in a supported way for the cost of just one drawer subscription.

Going beyond price, what further sets Ubuntu Pro apart from the support subscriptions of other vendors is that it not only covers the operating system itself, but also:

• The full infrastructure stack, including KVM, OpenStack, MicroK8s, LXD, MAAS and more
• Livepatch service for s390x, enabling you to patch kernel vulnerabilities without system downtime
• An ever-growing open source application landscape, including but not limited to:

Ubuntu Server and IBM LinuxONE 4 Express

The competitive price-point of the LinuxONE Express series has always made it a compelling option. When you pair that value with the uniquely cost-effective support of Ubuntu Pro, alongside full LinuxONE 4 feature enablement and full-stack infrastructure coverage, it’s easy to see why Ubuntu Server and IBM LinuxONE 4 Express are the perfect match.
