Dibakar Ghosh writes that Canonical has developed several open-source tools beyond Ubuntu to assist developers and infrastructure engineers at different scales of complexity. Multipass provides an easy way to launch lightweight virtual machines through simple command-line instructions, while Metal as a Service (MAAS) automates the management and provisioning of physical hardware via a web interface. Finally, MicroCloud simplifies private cloud creation by clustering multiple computers into a single pool for hosting containers and virtual machines with shared storage.
- Multipass avoids manual ISO downloads or driver configuration during VM setup.
- MAAS can deploy non-Ubuntu systems such as Fedora, Debian, or Windows using custom images.
- MicroCloud bundles LXD, MicroCeph, and MicroOVN to provide high availability for workloads across a cluster.

Canonical announced today that they will formally support the NVIDIA CUDA toolkit and also make it available via the Ubuntu repositories. This aims to simplify CUDA installation and usage on Ubuntu, particularly with the rise of AI development.
