Ubuntu Core 18 Released With 10-Year LTS Support
Earlier this week, Canonical announced the release of Ubuntu Core 18 for embedded Linux devices. This container OS also brings the benefit of 10-year long term support to ensure that the devices remain safe and updated for a long time.
The base OS image has very few packages installed to ensure better security. It has also helped in reducing the size and frequency of security updates. Moreover, users also get more freedom to store data and applications.

Canonical releases Ubuntu Core 18 for embedded devices with 10 years of support
Canonical has announced Ubuntu Core 18 which brings the latest technologies from Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to embedded devices. One of the key highlights for those running Ubuntu Core 18 is that Canonical plans to deliver security updates for 10 years; this should allow businesses to hold on to hardware for quite a while before it needs to be replaced.
Due to the more limited nature of IoT devices, which Ubuntu Core is aimed at, Canonical has made the decision to limit the number of packages that it's shipping with this update. By reducing the number of packages it means that security updates both smaller in size and fewer in frequency.

Canonical Brings IoT Security to Ubuntu Core
Embedded systems and IoT devices in the field often are hard or impossible to reach and are vulnerable to hackers and crackers. That makes systems that are self-sufficient and inherently secure a good thing – and why Canonical has brought the features of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS to these devices in Ubuntu Core 18.
The platform was announced today but has been available since last month. Ubuntu Core is the version of the Ubuntu OS designed for IoT and container deployments. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (long-term support), which was introduced last April, will add three elements to Ubuntu Core. Or, more accurately, it will reduce three things: time to market, software development risk, and security maintenance costs, the company says.
