Canonical Makes The "Enterprise Store" Official For Offline/Air-Gapped Ubuntu Usage

For months the Enterprise Store "enterprise-store" has been mentioned in some Ubuntu documentation and other elements while today it was formally announced by Canonical. The Enterprise Store is for helping to manage Ubuntu Linux deployments particularly within enterprise organizations that may have their computers air-gapped or otherwise strict Internet controls.

The Enterprise Store aims to make the software distribution more manageable and scalable for environments that are offline/air-gapped or with other Internet access restrictions. Similarly for industries under regulated controls on software versioning and only validated software.

The Enterprise Store is part of Ubuntu Pro subscriptions and allows for caching the software locally, high availability access, granular revision control, and other features for helping Snaps and Charms and other Ubuntu software deploy behind the firewall.
