Technology explained

What is Ubuntu?

Ubuntu is a Debian-based Linux distribution maintained by Canonical for servers, cloud, desktops and containers. This profile connects the concept to KBY's practical engineering guidance.

It combines regular and long-term-support releases with the APT package ecosystem, systemd and Canonical tooling. Production estates need a defined release, repository, patching and upgrade policy rather than treating all Ubuntu versions as interchangeable.
