2025 was the year that RISC-V readiness gave way to RISC-V adoption. It’s been quite a journey. What began years ago as early architectural exploration and enablement has matured into real silicon, systems, and deployments. In particular, RVA23 provides a stable and predictable baseline we can align on with our wider ecosystem of partners. At Canonical, we’re committed to making RISC-V a viable option for anyone who wishes to adopt it.

Most vendors have built their businesses around this.

Block Builder: a new Mimir Component (Mimir Community Call February 2026)

Feb 27, 2026 By Grafana In Grafana
At today’s community call, we will hear from David Grant, one of the engineers who has brought a new component, the Block Builder, into Mimir.

Escalation policies for critical incidents

This guide covers the key decisions involved in building that policy.
