Ubuntu Core: Unlock ISV Innovation in Multi-Cloud environments

Ubuntu Core, the best OS for Confidential Computing.

If you’re an ISV building a solution that processes sensitive data — AI or not — you need to think about security. This is particularly true when your solution is deployed in environments that are not under your control: public clouds or private clouds belonging to customers. It becomes even more pressing when your solution processes data from multiple, distributed vendors, where there is no single trusted infrastructure. In these cases, security is not just a technical challenge; it can be a business blocker.

Confidential computing offers a unique opportunity to resolve the tension between the need to process data, extract value from it, and keep it secure. But here’s the catch: acquiring hardware with confidential computing capabilities is only part of the solution. The software stack must catch up.

In this talk, we will show you how Canonical and Ubuntu enable ISVs to build confidential computing solutions with Ubuntu Confidential VMs. We’ll explore how to deploy these solutions securely across public, private, and edge cloud environments using Canonical’s MicroCloud platform. This session will provide concrete guidance on how to build and deploy secure solutions that protect data and ensure privacy, even in multi-tenant environments.

Confidential computing is not a luxury — it’s a necessity for securing data in today’s complex, multi-cloud world.
