MicroStack requires at least 8 GB RAM and a multi-core processor.

Whether you want an information kiosk, digital signage display, in-car entertainment stack, or home automation interface, Mir on Ubuntu is your fastest path to deployment. Mir is a system-level component that can be used to unlock next-generation user experiences. It runs on a range of Linux powered devices including traditional desktops, IoT and embedded products. Mir is a replacement for the X window server system, commonly used on Linux desktop devices. It allows device makers and desktop users to have a well-defined, efficient, flexible, and secure platform for their graphical environment. Historically, graphical user interfaces Linux have been powered by the X windowing system. X has a long and successful history and it has served the purposes of both system level and application level UI well for more than 3 decades. However, users nowadays expect a more consistent, integrated and secure user experience than is possible to offer on top of the X windowing system.

Low-ops, minimal production Kubernetes, for devs, cloud, clusters, workstations, Edge and IoT. MicroK8s automatically chooses the best nodes for the Kubernetes datastore. When you lose a cluster database node, another node is promoted. No admin needed for your bulletproof edge. MicroK8s is small, with sensible defaults that ‘just work’. A quick install, easy upgrades and great security make it perfect for micro clouds and edge computing. Full enterprise support available, with no subscription needed. Optional 24/7 support with 10 year security maintenance. Under the cell tower. On the racecar. On satellites or everyday appliances, MicroK8s delivers the full Kubernetes experience on IoT and micro clouds. Fully containerized deployment with compressed over-the-air updates for ultra-reliable operations. MicroK8s will apply security updates automatically by default, defer them if you want. Upgrade to a newer version of Kubernetes with a single command. It’s really that easy.

WebPros Cloud is a fully managed, wholesale-infrastructure platform that lets partners create, host, and manage instances of products from WebPros, such as WP Squared, cPanel, or WHMCS, without needing to invest in hardware, licenses, or server administration. It provides a secure, scalable, and reliable hardware backbone hosted by WebPros themselves (not a third-party cloud provider), offering automatic SSL provisioning, DDoS mitigation, automated backups (with both scheduled and on-demand options), DNS control, and global infrastructure monitoring with 24/7 support. Through either a WHMCS module or a direct API, resellers can automate provisioning, manage domains or hosting plans, and white-label it, customizing branding, pricing, and customer relationships as if it were their own service. For those reselling managed WordPress hosting via WP Squared, WebPros Cloud delivers optimized performance and security.

Better operators for enterprise apps with a full application graph and declarative integration for both Kubernetes and legacy estate. Juju operator integration allows us to keep each operator as simple as possible, then compose them to create rich application graph topologies that support complex scenarios with a simple, consistent experience and much less YAML. The UNIX philosophy of ‘doing one thing well’ applies to large-scale operations code too, and the benefits of clarity and reuse are exactly the same. Small is beautiful. Juju allows you to adopt the operator pattern for your entire estate, including legacy apps. Model-driven operations dramatically reduce maintenance and operations costs for traditional workloads without re-platforming to K8s. Once charmed, legacy apps become multi-cloud ready, too. The Juju Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) uniquely supports both container and machine-based apps, with seamless integration between them.
