What if Android testing were just another step in your Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline?
Making Android environments programmable and on-demand enables you to validate every change consistently, reproduce results, and get your teams feedback sooner.
The goal isn't to remove physical devices. It's to use them where they add the most value.

When hardware operates unattended in remote locations, a failed update could be an operational disaster. Bricking a device hundreds of miles away turns a simple software patch into a costly physical recovery mission. Without built-in self-healing mechanisms, one bad deployment can paralyze your entire field operation.
Canonical offers the solution.

What’s new in security for Ubuntu 26.10?
Ubuntu 26.10 arrives at a time when AI tools are accelerating vulnerability discovery. To respond to this new threat landscape, the resilience of the underlying OS must limit what an attacker can achieve before a fix is available.
We are reducing the code exposed to attack and replacing memory-unsafe implementations while preserving confinement.

Featured speakers are Jonathan Beri, Head of Product and IoT at Canonical, and Chris Rommel, EVP at VDC Strategy. An illustration on the right shows a laptop with graphs and gears.
Vulnerability reporting under the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is active, with full enforcement coming in December 2027. Are your connected devices compliant?
Join Canonical and Renesas Electronics to learn how Ubuntu on Renesas RZ platforms helps you meet key CRA requirements:
- Secure boot and a trusted software supply chain
- Over-the-air (OTA) updates and device management at scale
- Vulnerability management and mandatory reporting
- Long-term security maintenance across your product lifecycle

Power loss or network drop during deployment can suddenly leave your hardware in an inconsistent or broken state. File-by-file overwrites create critical failure points you can't afford. Edge systems need atomic updates: succeed fully or leave the system untouched.

Ubuntu 26.10 Stonking Stingray has emerged with agility and grace. 🌊
“Earlier this year, we set out a roadmap for AI on Ubuntu. Stonking Stingray delivers the first milestone through the integration of Myna: a speech-to-text agent that utilizes on-device LLMs. We’ve led Ubuntu’s first AI integration with accessibility to ensure that cutting-edge features are available to all users from day one.
Users will also benefit from enhanced security features. Ubuntu 26.10 completes the migration to Rust-based coreutils, and broadens device support for TPM-backed FDE. Stonking Stingray is symbolic of Ubuntu’s journey to not just build up, but also build out.”
- Jon Seager, VP of Ubuntu Engineering at Canonical

Ever wondered what happens when you run sudo snap install gemma4?
Deploying Generative AI models on @Ubuntu is simple, thanks to the underlying architecture.
When you install an inference snap like gemma4, you get more than model weights. You download a fully containerized inference engine, optimized for your specific hardware. Snaps bundle all necessary dependencies, libraries, and hardware acceleration components into one security-maintained, immutable package.
This setup prevents dependency issues and library mismatches, delivering local AI that works.

Zenoh is gaining strong traction as the middleware of choice for Robot Operating System (ROS) 2. But how do you deploy it reliably from your workstation to a fleet of robots?
Our latest blog post walks through three snap-based approaches:
- Package rmw_zenoh directly inside your ROS 2 application
- Route data streams with a standalone Zenoh router snap
- Bridge existing Data Distribution Service (DDS) based apps into Zenoh without code changes
Mix and match these approaches to fit your architecture. Every component gets strict confinement, transactional updates, and independent refresh cycles across AMD64 and ARM64.
Whether Zenoh lives inside your app, beside it, or at the center of your infrastructure, there's a snap for that.
