Standard images carry heavy OS dependencies that trigger endless, irrelevant vulnerability alerts. To stop the noise and shrink your footprint, you might switch to popular "distroless" alternatives, only to realize you've traded one problem for another.

Stop choosing between container compliance and image size.

Discover how the Canonical engineering team crafts minimal, OCI-compliant images. Learn how to get the tiny footprint of a distroless container while preserving the metadata required for accurate CVE scanning.

Apache2, Nginx, Bind9, Memcached, and Squid have been hardened into rocks (Ubuntu-based container images) – bringing smaller image sizes, cleaner dependency trees, and a reduced runtime footprint.

Built with chisel, managed with Pebble, and designed with security in mind, helping to keep your service images maintainable.

How do you run a “unicorn” cyber range cycling 6,500 VMs a semester without blowing the budget?

When legacy virtualisation costs started to threaten Tennessee Tech University’s (TNTECH) Cyber Range, they moved to Canonical MicroCloud: low-touch, open source, built for high performance at scale.

The results:
• 1,700 production VMs rebuilt in under 4 weeks
• Scaling toward 4,700 instances on the exact same physical footprint
• Seamlessly running live malware studies in airgapped environments

Security Assurance vs Security Standards. Can you spot the difference?

One sets the bar for how security must be implemented. The other provides the confidence it has actually been met. For regulated enterprises, neither is optional.

What's really running inside enterprise software?

Every piece of software relies on external code, and the code that code relies on. Dependency management is how enterprises stay on top of what's in their stack, where it comes from, and whether it's secure.

Open source is everywhere in modern IT. But the way organizations manage open source software supply chains is still often fragmented.

@Canonical’s new research report, "The open source chain of trust," surveyed 500 DevOps professionals to understand where enterprises are making progress – and where blockers remain.

The findings show a clear shift toward verifiable provenance, automated security workflows, and stronger cross-team collaboration.
