Mark Shuttleworth, founder and CEO of Canonical, discussed the company’s plans for an initial public offering in 2022, stating that Canonical intended to list the company the following year. He noted that the company had met the financial thresholds required to take that step and was actively working on the procedural requirements to become a public company. In the same period, Shuttleworth announced the expansion of Ubuntu Pro to cover the entire Debian package space, offering free personal subscriptions for up to five machines, and described Ubuntu as the most widely used operating system in the cloud native space, citing a CNCF study showing over 60% share. Shuttleworth characterized Kubernetes as "a force forever" and compared its pervasiveness to the Linux kernel. He described Canonical’s strategy of enabling major cloud providers—including Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and VMware—to offer Kubernetes on Ubuntu, positioning the company as a common base for portability. On edge computing, he distinguished between micro clouds (small clusters of 3–20 machines) and IoT, and advocated for simple, free, standardized solutions to avoid fragmentation. Regarding AI, Shuttleworth described it as "a different class of software" and predicted that model-driven application management would enable more structured analysis and integration with AI services.
Mark Shuttleworth, Canonical’s founder and CEO, sits down with Randy Holloway, Global GTM Leader at Microsoft, to discuss the current technology landscape. They explore AI’s impact on organizations and how open source in the public cloud is helping teams innovate.

“I would say categorically that if Ubuntu itself were not licensed under the terms that it is, sooner or later it would turn evil and it could be with me or without me. Just because that's the nature of things. If I got hit by a bus somebody else was in there, circumstances are different, national security, whatever the reason is, it would turn evil. Just because little dogs want to grow up and be big dogs. That's why”
“I have no interest whatsoever in trying to replace essentially a proprietary way of doing things in the proprietary way of world with a similarly proprietary way of doing things in the free software world. I think that the opportunity is there if we want to create it to build something that is completely different completely new which really changes the way people think about software and use software and which chang”
“I have a certain amount of empathy for small businesses that are using the business source license right because I think they probably feel they need to have a little bit more of a competitive edge for a period and the fact that that has a reversion to an open source license mechanism was good enough for me. We won't use that. We see no need to use that as a license we can stick with the AGPL but honestly anybody who”
“The original business plan for Ubuntu was Netflix and Spotify and Dropbox and so on. The idea was that in a connected world you could shift the sustainability model away from licensing software which is difficult to do in open source towards services and then you know a free platform would make sense. And that has happened, you know, if I look at Apple today right you don't pay for Mac OS right. I don't think you nec”
