We’re pleased to announce that Ubuntu Pro 22.04 LTS Minimal with CIS Hardening is now available in the Azure Marketplace.
This official Canonical image combines Ubuntu Pro’s robust security and compliance features with a minimal package set and pre-applied CIS (Center for Internet Security) benchmarks. CIS benchmarks are consensus-based secure configuration guidelines developed by security experts from industry, government, and academia.
You can choose between two CIS hardening levels:
- CIS Level 1: Practical balance between security and usability.
- CIS Level 2: Enhanced security for environments requiring maximum protection.
As always, this image is built and maintained by Canonical in a trusted pipeline, ensuring you receive timely updates and security patches directly from the Ubuntu team.
We invite you to explore this new offering and welcome your feedback—your input helps us continually improve Ubuntu’s security capabilities for everyone.
