Today, March 22, 2016, Canonical's Sergio Schvezov announced the release of Snapcraft 2.5, the Snappy creator tool used to create and manage snaps for the Snappy Ubuntu Core operating system.

According to the release announcement, Snapcraft 2.5 is here to introduce a kernel plugin with cross-compilation support, along with a kbuild plugin, which can be used for creating kernel snaps.

For now, creating kernel snaps is an experimental feature in Snapcraft but will soon reach production standard as Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) will hit streets in less than one month from the moment of writing this article.

Tele2, one of Europe’s most innovative telecom operators, announced today that it will move its Network and IT infrastructure to the cloud to pave the way for future investment and network build out to 5G. This move puts Tele2 at the vanguard of the move to Network Function Virtualisation (NFV), a once in a generation change in the telecoms industry as applications (VNFs) are virtualized and cloudified.

Tele2 has chosen Canonical’s BootStack as its managed cloud platform and Canonical will design, build, and manage Canonical OpenStack clouds in Tele2’s operating markets. Using Canonical’s managed hosting teams and automation tooling allows Tele2 to accelerate the rollout of NFV, reduce costs and focus internal resources on the creation of new services.

Canonical OpenStack is the leading platform in NFV roll outs globally and supports a host of telecom specific characteristics including support for SR-IOV, DPDK and CPU pinning out of the box.

Tele2 will also be leveraging V-PIL, Canonical’s VNF Performance and Interoperability lab and Juju for application modelling (generic VNF management). Together these tools will ensure successful evaluation, onboarding and deployment of workloads to Tele2’s NFV infrastructure. Juju enables the modelling, configuration, testing and deployment of VNFs. Juju integrates with industry leading orchestration solutions and allows for a common model to be used to manage applications from different suppliers. With wide industry support, Tele2 will use Juju charms to deploy hundreds of preconfigured services to its customers across its Business, Consumer and IOT segments.

Ubuntu is the platform of choice for organisations running scale-out, next-generation workloads in the Cloud. Ubuntu dominates public cloud guest volume and production OpenStack deployments with up to 70% market share. Global brands running Ubuntu at scale in the cloud include AT&T, Walmart, Deutsche Telecom, Bloomberg, Cisco and many others.

IBM’s LinuxONE and the z Systems product lines are recognized as the most secure, most reliable, most available and most highly utilized server platforms hosting vast quantities of the world’s business critical data.

Running Ubuntu on LinuxONE/Z providers an ideal platform for developers, who already use Ubuntu for IoT applications and other new workloads, as it provides the same operating system and tools on the backend as they are using on the edge.

In a joint partnership with IBM, Ubuntu will be bringing IBM’s LinuxONE and Systems z12 and newer product lines to the Cloud with the general availability of Ubuntu 16.04 on April 21st.

In the meantime and starting today, we are pleased to invite IBM LinuxONE, System z12 and z13 customers to download and try out a technology preview beta of Ubuntu 16.04 on those platforms.

Today, March 30, 2016, Ubuntu Make developer Didier Roche has announced the general availability of Ubuntu Make 16.03 for all supported Ubuntu Linux operating systems.

For those not in the known, Ubuntu Make is an open-source command-line tool designed from the ground up to help developers and programmers install all sorts of third-party applications that aren't available in the Ubuntu repos or don't have a PPA.

According to Mr. Roche, Ubuntu Make 16.03 is here to add support for installing the Superpowers 2D/3D game maker software, as well as the Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers, IntelliJ IDEA EAP (Early Access Program), and the Kotlin compiler.

"I'm really delighted to announce a new Ubuntu Make release, scoring 16.03, bringing updates for a bunch of frameworks while introducing new support," says Didier Roche. "I'm also really proud as this new release features three new awesome contributors."
