Add-ons to SMART START
Extra features, enablement and certification of alternative boards and additional chipsets.
Full Disk Encryption
$30,000
Enable full disk encryption with hardware key management and optional key escrow. Choice of ciphers and hardware acceleration for minimal performance impact. Essential for devices with personal information in regulated industries.
Secure Boot
$30,000
Enable secure boot, ensuring that the device will only run its certified workload. Hardware key management devices such as the TPM are used to validate each stage of the boot process, for enhanced assurance of integrity of the running OS.
Device Enablement
$25,000 - $200,000
If Canonical's certified hardware list doesn't include what you need, we may be willing to enable your preferred board. Pricing varies depending on the similarity between your board and existing certified boards.
FIPS Certification
$45,000
Meet Federal information processing requirements with a FIPS-certified kernel and cryptographic libraries. FIPS certification takes place every six months - fully compliant devices must restrict updates to certified versions. Note that this is available on x86 only.
Kernel Livepatch
$60,000
Reduce the number of reboots significantly by live patching your running kernel. Requires specific certified kernel on an Ubuntu LTS release. Requires x86 architecture.
High Availability Kubernetes
$15,000
With you gain a fully CNCF conformant cloud-native Kubernetes for device application operations, including clustering for high availability, service mesh support and automatic security updates.
Ready–to–go gateway solutions
For industrial and enterprise solutions, just add your apps and they'll handle the rest.
Update Control
Regular updates for Ubuntu and your apps protect devices from ongoing attacks. Robust and reliable update mechanisms mean we safely address security issues automatically by default. If you want to review changes, Update Control ensures that changes are only applied after they are certified by the device manufacturer.
Snaps for security
Ubuntu Core is an all-snap version of Ubuntu. A snap is a secure, easily upgraded, universal Linux package for an app and all its dependencies. Snaps are:
- Confined for strict security
- Transactional for reliable updates
- Compressed to save disk space
- Easy to create and distribute
- Widely adopted by industry leaders
