Ubuntu on VMware¶
Ubuntu on VMware is a set of customized Ubuntu images that allow easy access to a wide range of products and services - offered by both VMware and Canonical.
These images provide a foundation for deploying cloud-based software solutions, specifically for software built on Ubuntu and running on VMware. They focus on providing the optimal tools and features needed to run specific workloads.
The images create a stable and secure cloud platform that is ideal for scaling development work done on Ubuntu-based systems. Since Ubuntu is one of the most favored operating systems among developers, using an Ubuntu-based image for the corresponding cloud deployment becomes the simplest option.
Everyone from individual developers to large enterprises use these images for developing and deploying their softwares. For highly regulated industries from the government, medical and finance sectors, various security-certified images are also available.
How this documentation is organized¶
This documentation is currently minimal and includes information about finding CVE vulnerabilities on active Ubuntu on VMware images. We’ll be updating it with more content in the future, including how-to guides and other reference material for running Ubuntu on VMware. At that point, the documentation will use the Diátaxis documentation structure.
Project and community¶
Ubuntu on VMware is a member of the Ubuntu family and the project warmly welcomes community projects, contributions, suggestions, fixes and constructive feedback.
