The Raspberry Pi Foundation has a new product — the Raspberry Pi 400. The flagship Raspberry Pi 4 was released in June 2019. Since, they added an 8GB model, brought out the Compute Module 4, we certified all Raspberry Pis since Raspberry Pi 2 and we worked together to make the full Ubuntu Desktop ‘just work’ on a Raspberry Pi 4. Now, Ubuntu Server and Ubuntu Desktop also work, out of the box, with the all-new Raspberry Pi 400.  You can get it on its own, the Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard computer itself. Or as a kit including a beginners guide, a Raspberry Pi official power supply and an official mouse (pictured at the end of the article). We are also delighted to say that for a month you can also get an Ubuntu Desktop Groovy Gorilla sticker when you purchase a Raspberry Pi 4 from Pimoroni. The folks at Pimoroni run their Raspberry Pi business on Ubuntu and very kindly agreed to ship some Groovy Gorilla merch with relevant orders. The latest and greatest The changes from the ...

Neutron now provides its metadata service over IPv6 networks which means that users can access it without a configuration drive in IPv6-only networks. Neutron has also added support for flat networks for Distributed Virtual Routers (DVR), Floating IP port forwarding for the OVN backend, and router availability zones in OVN. Octavia load balancer pools now support version two of the PROXY protocol. This allows one to pass client information to member servers when using TCP p...

Kubeflow, the ML toolkit on K8s, now fits on your desktop and edge devices! ? Data science workflows on Kubernetes Kubeflow provides the cloud-native interface between Kubernetes and data science tools: libraries, frameworks, pipelines, and notebooks. > Read more about what is Kubeflow Cloud-native MLOps toolkit gets heavy To make Kubeflow the standard cloud-native tool for MLOps within the AI landscape, the open-source community has accomplished the aggregation and integration of many projects on top of Kubernetes. Unfortunately, this notable accomplishment also has a downside. Deploying Kubeflow on your laptop or edge device has become impractical. The very minimum memory necessary to deploy the full Kubeflow bundle is 12Gb of RAM. On top of that, it is Linux-based. This means that on Windows and macOS you need to allocate 12+ Gb of memory to a Linux VM. Last time I tried, my 16Gb of RAM MacBook Pro did not like the idea. Kubeflow lite to experiment on ...

Another Open Infrastructure Summit just passed, and yet this one was like no other OIS past. Head-sponsoring the first ever virtual OIS was an interesting experience to say the least, with more than 10,000 community members worldwide hoping on the hand-built OIS platform to see what’s new in the open infrastructure space, connect, and – why not? – get their hands on some goodies from their favourite brands! The theme of Open Infrastructure Summit 2020? Couldn’t be more pertinent: ‘The Next Decade of Open Infrastructure’. In other words, this conference was all about change, and evolving to meet with the tech demands to move forward. Canonical had much to say on the topic, with founder and CEO Mark Shuttleworth delivering a live keynote on what he predicts for the future of open infra, as well as a number of our team members giving technical talks on OpenStack related topics such as VNF, OVN, cloud and edge solutions, as well as pricing considerations. You can now access all ...

This post marks the one year anniversary of the Ubuntu Robotics newsletter. We knew adding the year on the end of each title was a good idea! One full year where the Ubuntu Robotics team have been documenting their work, showcasing projects in ROS and discussing interesting things going on in the community.  And my, what a year it has been. To mark the occasion, we’d love to hear and write about any work you’ve done in robotics or ROS over the last year.  Send a summary of your work to robotics.community@canonical.com, and we’ll feature it in next month’s blog. Anyway, enough of the preamble, on to some news. See you at ROS World 2020 Come and connect with us at ROSWorld on November 12th! We’ll be around to answer all of your questions. This is the first time ROSCon has ever been virtual so it’s a bit new to us and we want to hear about your robot projects! We have something called a “virtual booth” that you can “visit” and if we’re not there, you’ll find someone stationed on...
