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`_ extends the security patching of | ||
the main archive to 10 years through the `esm-infra` entitlement. In addition | ||
to patching the core of Ubuntu (i.e. the `Ubuntu main` repository), Pro also offers security maintenance of the | ||
`Ubuntu universe` repository. This security coverage is considered best effort | ||
without Ubuntu Pro. | ||
|
||
Livepatch | ||
~~~~~~~~~ | ||
`Livepatch`_ applies security updates | ||
to the kernel for critical and high security vulnerabilities in a live system. | ||
This allows 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. For 22.04, it 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 the 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`_. | ||

Support options on AWS | ||
============================ | ||
|
||
Ubuntu Pro on AWS | ||
----------------- | ||
Ubuntu Pro provides numerous support options. Please see the :doc:`Pro <pro>` page for | ||
more details. | ||
|
||
|
||
Canonical support | ||
----------------- | ||
Purchasing Pro through the AWS provides a convenient mechanism for getting access to the above features | ||
using a unified billing portal. However, Ubuntu pro images published under the | ||
`Canonical Group Limited marketplace seller <https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/search/results?searchTerms=ubuntu+pro&CREATOR=565feec9-3d43-413e-9760-c651546613f2&filters=CREATOR>`_ | ||
account or launched through to the EC2 console does not include phone support. | ||
If you would like to receive 24/5 or 24/7 phone support you can do so with the following options. | ||
|
||
* Private offers for marketplace listings | ||
* Ubuntu Pro tokens | ||
|
||
Ubuntu Pro tokens can not be purchased through unified billing, but it offers flexibility in where | ||
you deploy Pro. For instance, it can be used to provide Pro entitlements on on premise or hybrid | ||
cloud deployments. | ||
|
||
To purchase phone support please reach out to [email protected]. | ||
|
||
|
||
Amazon front line support | ||
------------------------- | ||
Canonical and Amazon collaborate on publishing Ubuntu Pro images | ||
through the `Amazon Web Services marketplace <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. |
