Canonical has announced that Ubuntu Pro subscriptions can now be attached directly to base images within AWS Image Builder, allowing users to create enterprise-grade custom images with built-in support from the start.
New Integration Simplifies Image Configuration
Previously, applying an Ubuntu Pro subscription to an image built with AWS Image Builder required manually entering a token during the build process. The new integration streamlines this by allowing administrators to specify their Ubuntu Pro subscription credentials when defining an image recipe within AWS Image Builder.
AWS Image Builder is a managed AWS service that automates the creation of custom Amazon Machine Images (AMIs). With this update, custom images produced through the service are configured as enterprise-grade from the outset, according to Canonical's announcement.
Ubuntu Pro provides access to security patching, livepatching for kernel updates, and compliance hardening features. By attaching a subscription at the image definition stage, organizations can ensure that every instance launched from the resulting AMI carries Ubuntu Pro coverage.
Implementation Details
The feature is available in all regions where AWS Image Builder operates. Configuration is supported via the AWS Management Console and the Command Line Interface (CLI).
DevOps teams seeking to implement this should consult the official AWS Image Builder documentation for recipe configuration and Canonical's guide for entering subscription details.
Canonical 宣布 Ubuntu Pro 訂閱現可直接附加到 AWS 映像檔建構器中的基礎映像檔，讓用戶從一開始就能建立內建支援的企業級自訂映像檔。
新整合簡化映像檔配置
此前，將 Ubuntu Pro 訂閱應用於使用 AWS 映像檔建構器建立的映像檔，需要在建構過程中手動輸入令牌。新的整合方式透過允許管理員在 AWS 映像檔建構器中定義映像檔配方時指定其 Ubuntu Pro 訂閱憑證，簡化了此流程。
AWS 映像檔建構器是一項託管 AWS 服務，可自動化建立自訂 Amazon 機器映像檔 (AMI)。根據 Canonical 的公告，透過此服務產生的自訂映像檔從一開始即配置為企業級。
Ubuntu Pro 提供安全修補、核心更新即時修補 (livepatching) 以及合規性強化功能。透過在映像檔定義階段附加訂閱，組織可以確保從生成的 AMI 啟動的每個實例都攜帶 Ubuntu Pro 涵蓋。
實施詳情
此功能在 AWS 映像檔建構器運作的所有區域均可使用。支援透過 AWS 管理主控台及命令列界面 (CLI) 進行配置。
希望實施此功能的 DevOps 團隊應參閱 AWS 映像檔建構器官方文件以了解配方配置，並參考 Canonical 的指南以輸入訂閱詳情。
