Ubuntu Pro on AWS
-----------------
Ubuntu Pro is a paid offering that provides expanded security coverage,
enhanced kernel patching, and hardening options for compliance frameworks.
All Ubuntu Pro images on Amazon receive the following features through Pro.

Expanded Security Maintenance (ESM)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
`ESM archives <https://ubuntu.com/security/esm>`_ extends the security patching of
the main archive to 10 years through the `esm-infra` entitlement. In addition
to patching the core of Ubuntu, Pro offers security maintenance of the
`universe` pocket. This security coverage is considered best effort
without Ubuntu Pro.

Livepatch
~~~~~~~~~
`Livepatch <https://ubuntu.com/security/livepatch>`_ applies security updates
to the kernel for critical and high security vulnerabilities to a live system.
This provides a buffer for system administrators to minimise downtime between
scheduled maintenance windows. This is particularly helpful for workloads
that are expensive to migrate, such as kubernetes workers for EKS.

Compliance
~~~~~~~~~~
Ubuntu Pro offers compliance options for users that need to apply
CIS (level 1 and 2) or FIPS hardening. FIPS is currently supported
on Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04. 22.04 is currently available through the
`fips-preview` and `fips-updates` repositories provided through the
FIPS pro entitlement, but these modules are not yet certified.

Ubuntu Landscape
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All Ubuntu Pro customers are entitled to usage of
`Landscape <https://ubuntu.com/landscape>_` self-hosted and SaaS solutions.
Landscape is an endpoint management solution for monitoring your Ubuntu
estate. This includes alerting for security vulnerabilities, patching status,
managing repository mirrors, and more. To sign up for Landscape SaaS see
the `sign up page <https://landscape.canonical.com/signup>_`.

Support options on AWS
============================

Ubuntu Pro on AWS
-----------------
Ubuntu Pro provides numerous support options. Please see the `Pro <pro>`_ page for
more details.


Amazon front line support
-------------------------
Canonical and Amazon collaborate on publishing Ubuntu Pro images
through the `Amazon Web Services marketplace seller <https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/search/results?searchTerms=ubuntu+pro&CREATOR=e6a5002c-6dd0-4d1e-8196-0a1d1857229b&filters=CREATOR>`_.
Users of these images are able to get support directly through the
`AWS support portal <https://console.aws.amazon.com/support/home#/case/create?issueType=technical>`_.


Public Bug Tracker
------------------
The Canonical Public Cloud (CPC) team maintains a bug tracker for all cloud images. If you find
a problem with a cloud image you case `file a bug <https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+filebug>`_.
When creating a bug please describe the issue, provide a minimal reproducer, and ensure you include
which AMI you see this issue on. CPC regularly triage issues but note that support here is
best effort.
