Canonical Achieves AWS Graviton Ready Designation

29 November 2021: Canonical, Publisher of Ubuntu, announced today that it has achieved the AWS Graviton Ready designation, part of the Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) Service Ready Program. This designation recognizes that Canonical + Ubuntu Server and Anbox Cloud Appliance has demonstrated successful integration with AWS Graviton Service. 

Achieving the AWS Graviton Ready designation differentiates Canonical as an AWS Partner Network (APN) member with a product integrating with AWS Graviton and is generally available and fully supported for AWS customers. AWS Service Ready Partners have demonstrated success building products integrated with AWS services, helping AWS customers evaluate and use their technology productively, at scale, and with varying levels of complexity. 

“Canonical is thrilled to achieve AWS Graviton Ready status,” said Alex Gallagher, VP of Cloud. “Our team’s first priority is always helping companies achieve their technology goals by leveraging our joint solutions with AWS.”

To support the seamless integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS established the AWS Service Ready Program to help customers identify solutions integrated with AWS services and spend less time evaluating new tools, and more time scaling their use of solutions that are integrated with AWS Services. 

Canonical also publishes and maintains Ubuntu Server and EKS optimized images for the Graviton 2 platform, where users can take advantage of additional optimizations found on newer ARM-based processors.
