Canonical has announced the general availability of Ubuntu Pro for WSL, which provides security maintenance and enterprise support for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS WSL instances in Windows.

With Ubuntu Pro for WSL, sysadmins can use Landscape – Canonical’s systems management tool – to automate security patching, auditing, access management, and compliance tasks. According to the website, the tool “will monitor all WSL instances that are deployed once Ubuntu Pro for WSL is configured and identify which Windows hosts are compliant and which are non-compliant with your WSL provisioning and configuration policies.”

According to the announcement, Ubuntu Pro for WSL also “integrates seamlessly into existing enterprise management workflows, allowing for easy installation and configuration.”
Source and beta releases for Ubuntu Pro for WSL are available on GitHub or can be installed from the Microsoft Store. Learn more at Canonical.
