#UBUNTU MONIT PRO#
Ubuntu Pro is a broad subscription that includes many different variations of open source packages to meet different needs. Run pro security-status in the terminal to find that information. How can I find out if the packages I am using are coming from Ubuntu Main or Universe? With the launch of Ubuntu Pro, all of the packages of Ubuntu Universe get the same security maintenance commitment from Canonical as packages in Ubuntu Main. Nevertheless Canonical and the Ubuntu community provided best-effort maintenance for those packages. Historically those packages came with no security maintenance commitment from Canonical. Universe is a much bigger repository of over 23,000 packages per release. The ‘Universe’ repository holds all of the other open source packages in Ubuntu, from Debian and the Ubuntu community. There were initially about 1,000 packages in ‘Main’, and today that number has grown to about 2,300 per Ubuntu release.
#UBUNTU MONIT FREE#
When we launched Ubuntu LTS, we made a commitment to security-support these packages and their dependencies in ‘Main’ for five years, free of charge. ‘Main’ is the set of packages that we identified as our focus when we launched Ubuntu - they are packages that are either installed on every machine, or very widely used for all kinds of deployments, from desktop to cloud.
The tens of thousands of Ubuntu packages are organised into a set of repositories. What’s the difference between Ubuntu Main and Universe repositories? There are discount programs for specific use-cases, such as research, education, and academia. Their subscriptions to Ubuntu Pro enable us to offer this service free of charge to personal users who might have their own, or family, or small business needs which we are glad to support as part of our mission and social impact. The extraordinary range of security updates in Ubuntu Pro is funded by large-scale, commercial users.
#UBUNTU MONIT FULL#
It offers the full suite of Ubuntu Pro capabilities for you – and any business you own – on up to 5 machines. Yes, the Ubuntu LTS and interim release support still work exactly the same with the same set of promises, bug fixes – and crucially, the same scope of security updates for both ‘Main’ and ‘Universe’ packages. Our goal is to make it easy for a CISO to be confident letting all their developers use Ubuntu, anywhere, at low cost.Īs part of our global mission to amplify the impact of free software, we offer a free personal subscription to Ubuntu Pro that covers up to 5 machines, or 50 machines for active Ubuntu community members. We price Ubuntu Pro to make it extremely cost-effective for companies to adopt widely - for example, on the public cloud we price Ubuntu Pro at 3-4% of the cost of the VM it is running on. We created the product for some specific customers and are now making it widely available. Ubuntu Pro helps large enterprises empower their developers to use anything in Ubuntu with confidence, knowing it will be secured for ten years. Ubuntu Pro provides an SLA for security fixes for the entire distribution (‘main and universe’ packages) for ten years, with extensions for industrial use cases. Ubuntu Pro was launched in public beta on 5 October, 2022, and moved to general availability on 26 January, 2023.
Ubuntu Pro is an additional stream of security updates and packages that meet compliance requirements such as FIPS or HIPAA, on top of an Ubuntu LTS. In fact, thanks to our expanded security team, your LTS is better secured today than ever before, even without Ubuntu Pro. This has been the promise of Ubuntu since our first LTS in 2006, and remains exactly the same. Your Ubuntu LTS is still secured in exactly the same way it has always been, with five years of free security updates for the ‘main’ packages in the distribution, and best-effort security coverage for everything else.
