The record

Purpose: Landscape is Canonical’s systems management solution for managing Ubuntu desktops, servers, cloud instances, IoT devices, and other Ubuntu systems.
Management: From one portal, administrators can manage software updates, run scripts remotely, manage packages and repositories, configure role-based access control, and monitor client machines.
Scale: A single instance can manage up to 40,000 machines, with the option to scale for larger deployments.
Monitoring: Landscape can alert on updates and graph machine temperature, disk, memory use, system load, and custom metrics.
Integrations: Landscape has a scriptable API and can integrate with existing configuration management, monitoring, and ticketing systems.
Identity integrations: Managed Landscape supports OpenID Connect and enterprise identity providers including Azure AD, Google, Okta, and IBM.
Deployment options: Landscape is offered as Canonical-hosted SaaS, Managed Landscape, or self-hosted software; SaaS is bundled with an Ubuntu Pro subscription.
SaaS limits: Landscape SaaS does not currently provide repository mirroring or configuration of a custom external identity provider.
Security: Landscape SaaS data in transit uses HTTPS with TLS and data at rest is encrypted using AES-128.
Self-hosted security: Self-hosted Landscape uses HTTPS with TLS by default, while database encryption at rest is user-controlled and is not configured by Landscape by default.
Managed service support: Managed Landscape includes an SLA with up to 99.9% uptime, 24/7 monitoring, and break/fix response by Canonical engineers.
Self-hosted requirement: Self-hosted Landscape is installed, hosted, and maintained by the user or organization and requires technical knowledge and resources to set up and maintain.
Client limitation: The Landscape Client snap does not support management of Debian packages.
Intended users: Landscape is presented for teams administering large or growing Ubuntu estates across desktops, servers, clouds, and embedded devices.
