Ubuntu Core documentation

Ubuntu Core is a version of the Ubuntu operating system designed and engineered for deploying IoT and embedded systems.

In Ubuntu Core, every element of the system runs within a confined sandbox using Snap packages, which are used exclusively to create a transaction-based system. Security and robustness are the key features, alongside being easy to install, easy to maintain, and easy to upgrade.

Ubuntu Core is ideal for embedded devices because it manages itself. Whether it’s running on a PC-style system hidden for media streaming, or an embedded ARM device handling garage door automation, Ubuntu Core remains transparent, trustworthy and autonomous.

From Linux and maker space tinkerers, to the robotics, automotive and signage industries; from a single device, to a deployment of thousands: Ubuntu Core can handle it.
