Overview
The Ubuntu Pro subscription for EC2 Image Builder is a drag and drop component for attaching an Ubuntu Pro license to any Linux image. On Ubuntu machines, this license allows customers to build pipelines on top of the base Ubuntu Pro services, such as ESM and livepatch but also to run CIS and DISA-STIG hardening automated scripts using The Ubuntu Security Guide tool.
On other linux platforms, it attaches the Ubuntu Pro license allowing the host to run Pro containers on services such as EKS, ECS and others.
Ubuntu Pro is a comprehensive subscription for security, support, and compliance, optimized for AWS with 10 years of security maintenance, and providing an option to extend for 5 additional years through the Legacy add-on. With Ubuntu Pro, you can enjoy enhanced security coverage that protects the OS and expands security maintenance to thousands of packages, including critical applications such as Apache Kafka, NGINX, MongoDB, Redis, PostgreSQL, and more.
The unique features of Ubuntu Pro empower teams to freely consume open source software while simultaneously meeting internal security, governance, and compliance requirements.
Features of Ubuntu Pro:
- Kernel Livepatch: Enables in-memory application of kernel security patches without rebooting, minimizing downtime.
- Expanded Security Maintenance: Provides up to 15 years of security updates (with Legacy add-on), ensuring long-term coverage for enterprise applications.
- Coverage for the widest software ecosystem: Expands security maintenance to thousands of packages, including critical applications such as Apache Kafka, NGINX, MongoDB, Redis, PostgreSQL, and runtimes such as PHP and Python, allowing teams to consume a vast collection of open source software in full accordance with internal security, governance, and compliance criteria.
- Canonical Landscape license included: Landscape, Canonical's official fleet management tool, automates security management tasks across your Ubuntu estate, available on request, streamlining control and security.
