In their own words
Canonical Landscape
Canonical Landscape manages and monitors Ubuntu deployments, including desktops, servers, cloud instances and IoT devices. It can install, update and remove software, apply automated update and security-patch policies, and configure users and groups. For monitoring, it can alert on updates, chart temperature, disk, memory and system-load trends, show running processes and collect custom metrics. It also supports patch-compliance reporting, role-based access control, audit logging, APT repository mirroring and custom package management. Landscape can run as multi-tenant SaaS, as a Canonical-managed single-tenant service, or self-hosted on cloud or on-premises infrastructure, including air-gapped environments. One instance can manage up to 40,000 machines, with larger deployments possible. A scriptable API supports customization and integrations with configuration-management, monitoring and ticketing systems. Self-hosted Landscape and SaaS included with Ubuntu Pro are listed at free. Managed options cost $6,861 a year on supported public-cloud or virtualization environments, or $9,470 a year on bare metal, billed per physical machine. Ubuntu Pro offers a 30-day enterprise trial.
