Canonical

Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu, provides open source security maintenance, support, and services. Our portfolio covers critical systems, from the smallest devices to the largest clouds, from the kernel to containers, from databases to AI. With customers that include top tech brands, emerging startups, governments, and home users, Canonical delivers trusted open source for everyone.

Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu, was the first company to commercially distribute and support OpenStack, under the Ubuntu Cloud Infrastructure brand. Ubuntu is the reference operating system for the project. Since 2011, we've included the latest version of OpenStack in every Ubuntu release, as well as made every OpenStack release available for our most recent long-term support Ubuntu release (LTS) in our unique Cloud Archive. All versions of Ubuntu are certified and supported.

As the second biggest contributor to OpenStack and an undisputed leader in open source distribution, our goal is to make OpenStack deployable by anyone, anywhere, and at any scale. To achieve that we launched Sunbeam. Project Sunbeam delivers an opinionated, truly cloud-native OpenStack, with full bottom-up automation. It follows Ubuntu security commitments, as required by enterprise customers.
