With more than 4,000 organisations across verticals depending on LaunchDarkly’s feature management SaaS platform to accelerate software innovation, the company was beginning to see major interest from prospective customers in the government sector. To extend its services to these federal customers, LaunchDarkly needed to become FedRAMP compliant and implement FIPS 140 certified cryptographic modules.

Ubuntu has always been at the heart of the LaunchDarkly platform, so when it learned that a FIPS-compliant Ubuntu image was available on AWS, it did not hesitate to expand its relationship with Canonical. Ubuntu Pro FIPS helps solve the compliance challenge while delivering the same, familiar Ubuntu experience and capabilities that have helped drive LaunchDarkly’s success since it was founded in 2014.

“It just works. Of all the things that give me trouble and keep me up at night, Ubuntu is not one of them”.
