OpenNebula and Canonical Partner to Deliver Built-In Ubuntu Pro for Secure Enterprise Clouds and AI Infrastructure

Built-In Ubuntu Pro Enhances Security and Simplicity for OpenNebula Deployments

MADRID, SPAIN, November 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- OpenNebula Systems, the leader in open cloud and edge management and orchestration, today announced a new collaboration with Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu and a global provider of open source security, support, and services. Through this collaboration, OpenNebula customers can now use Ubuntu Pro as a built-in, security maintained operating system for hypervisor nodes—simplifying OpenNebula installation and adoption while strengthening enterprise security and compliance.

OpenNebula is a widely adopted platform for virtualization, enterprise cloud, and multi-cluster Kubernetes management. With enterprise-grade features and integrations with partners such as NetApp and Veeam, it helps organizations consolidate and modernize their infrastructure with confidence. Supported by strong partnerships with NVIDIA, Dell Technologies, and Ampere, OpenNebula is rapidly becoming the preferred platform for orchestrating sovereign AI Factories built on secure multi-tenancy architectures.

Beginning with the OpenNebula 7.0 release, Ubuntu Pro is offered as an operating-system option for hypervisor nodes. Customers benefit from Canonical’s reputation for delivering secure, stable images and its proven ability to address high-severity vulnerabilities quickly. With new CVEs emerging daily, production systems require frequent updates—Ubuntu Pro ensures that customers can mitigate risk confidently and maintain long-term compliance.

With built-in Ubuntu Pro, OpenNebula customers will benefit from enterprise-grade security maintenance. This includes expedited security patch management, integrated lifecycle updates, and a robust process for reviewing, prioritizing, and remediating vulnerabilities.

“Our mission is to provide a truly sovereign and secure multi-tenant cloud and edge platform for enterprises and public institutions. Partnering with Canonical to integrate Ubuntu Pro into OpenNebula strengthens our customers’ confidence by combining open innovation with long-term stability, security, and compliance.”
