We’ve introduced a dedicated Ubuntu Pro component that lets you bake Pro services and security features directly into your images at build time.
Instead of manually attaching tokens or running scripts after a machine starts, you can now purchase and subscribe to the Pro component as part of the initial image creation. This includes the ability to license any Linux image for Ubuntu Pro containers.
By using Ubuntu Pro, you extend your security maintenance to a full 10 years from the initial release date, including instant patches for thousands of open-source packages. It basically puts your security and compliance on autopilot so you can focus on building your apps.
You can find and subscribe to the Ubuntu Pro components on the AWS Marketplace here:
