Today we are excited to announce a partnership with Canonical to enable Aptio® V UEFI Firmware users to now boot directly into Ubuntu by simply selecting Ubuntu Cloud Installation in the boot menu.
This new native boot functionality makes it easy and convenient to use Ubuntu and eliminates the need for flashing images or using additional media or external devices. Now, just a simple Ethernet connection is enough to install and launch Ubuntu.
“At AMI, we value partnerships that strengthen the ecosystem and deliver trusted solutions. Canonical’s widely adopted, community-supported platform is recognized for its stability and reliability, making this collaboration a natural fit,” commented B. Parthiban, General Manager, Boot Firmware Group at AMI. “Together, we’re enabling secure, high-performance experiences for customers everywhere.”
