Broadcom and Canonical are expanding their partnership to accelerate development of container-based and AI applications with improved security and lower cost. Canonical is the number-one Cloud OS provider with Ubuntu containers. VMware by Broadcom, with VCF Foundation, is the number-one private cloud platform. The combined technologies support building Kubernetes-based modern applications. Customers can build and ship Kubernetes images more quickly using Ubuntu chiseled containers that deliver only the application and its runtime dependencies, excluding other operating system-level packages, utilities, and libraries. Chiseled containers reduce the application's attack surface and streamline deployment.
"Canonical is the number-one Cloud OS provider in the market with the Ubuntu containers, and VMware by Broadcom, with our VCF Foundation, is the number-one private cloud platform," said Prashanth Shenoy, VP of product marketing, VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) division of Broadcom, during a media briefing. "So those two organizations coming together really helps our customers build Kubernetes-based modern applications."
He said that customers can build and ship Kubernetes images more quickly, thanks to Ubuntu chiseled containers that only deliver the application and its runtime dependencies, without any other operating system-level packages, utilities, or libraries. This, he noted, also reduces the application's attack surface.
