Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the integral enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation and IoT. Our customers include the world’s leading public cloud, silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors.

The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1100+ colleagues in 75+ countries and very few office‑based roles. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution. The company is founder‑led, profitable and growing.

Canonical is building a new generation of Ubuntu‑based container images to simplify open‑source application deployment worldwide.
