Canonical announces fully Managed Kubeflow AI operations platform on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace

Canonical has announced the general availability of Managed Kubeflow on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace. The fully managed MLOps platform deploys a production-ready environment in under an hour within the customer's own Azure tenant, with 24/7 management by Canonical engineers. Key features include in-tenancy deployment within Azure VNet for data governance, SSO via Microsoft Entra ID or OIDC providers, and built-in high availability for production workloads. The service runs on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) with auto-scaling worker pools supporting both CPU and GPU workloads. It is available as a transactable listing that counts against Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitments (MACC), allowing organizations to bypass procurement cycles.
