AI at the edge: simplifying infrastructure with Cisco and Canonical

AI Ubuntu tech blog

Legacy infrastructure was not designed for the requirements of the AI era. While large-scale model training remains centralized in data centers, test-time inference is rapidly shifting to the edge to reduce latency and bandwidth consumption. This shift creates a new frontier for enterprise AI, but deploying at the edge introduces signific ...

What is RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE)?

AI Ubuntu tech blog

Previous articles walked through RDMA (Remote Direct Memory Access) as a programming model and InfiniBand as the fabric that was built around it. Both led to the same conclusion, even if it was never stated outright: moving data, not compute, becomes the bottleneck once systems scale. So what happens when you want RDMA, but you’re ...

What is InfiniBand?

AI Ubuntu tech blog

When distributed workloads stall because nodes cannot exchange small messages quickly and consistently, the network is the limiting factor. How do you solve that problem? InfiniBand offers one solution. InfiniBand is an interconnect, meaning the end-to-end communication system that links compute, storage, and accelerator nodes. It is impl ...

Developing web apps with local LLM inference

AI Ubuntu tech blog

I’ve yet to meet a developer that enjoys working with metered AI APIs. The need to pay for every API call in development works in direct opposition to the ethos of rapid iteration, and it’s easy for the costs to get out of hand. That’s why Canonical has created a different approach to building AI-powered ...

Finding the blind spot: How Canonical hunts logic flaws with AI

AI Ubuntu tech blog

AI is accelerating and improving how security engineers find and fix vulnerabilities. A new tool developed and used at Canonical, called Redhound, has already uncovered three critical logic vunerabilites, paving the way for a more secure software landscape. ...

Hybrid search and reranking: a deeper look at RAG

AI Ubuntu tech blog

Many of us are familiar with the retrieval augmented generative AI (RAG) pattern for building agentic AI applications – like digital concierges, frontline support chatbots and agents that can help with basic self-service troubleshooting.  At a high level, the flow for RAG is fairly clear – the user’s prompt is augmented with some relevant ...

The bare metal problem in AI Factories

MAAS Ubuntu tech blog

As AI platforms grow into large-scale “AI Factories,” the real bottleneck shifts from model design to operational complexity. With expensive GPU accelerators, hardware failures and inconsistent configurations lead directly to lost throughput and reduced return on investment. While Kubernetes orchestrates workloads, it cannot fix broken ph ...

What is RDMA?

AI Ubuntu tech blog

Modern data centres are hitting a wall that faster CPUs alone cannot fix. As workloads scale out and latency budgets shrink, the impact of moving data between servers is starting to become the most significant factor in overall performance. Remote Direct Memory Access, or RDMA, is one of the technologies reshaping how that data moves, ...
