Free for personal use up to 5 machines: https://ubuntu.com/pro.

Why

  • Livepatch - kernel CVE patches without reboot. Worth it on a k3s host you don't want to bounce.
  • ESM-Apps - security updates extend to `universe` packages.
  • ESM-Infra - 10y security maintenance vs 5y LTS. Free.

CIS / FIPS / Landscape are irrelevant for a one-box homelab.

Steps

  1. Sign in / create account at https://ubuntu.com/pro/dashboard, grab token.
  2. `ssh kai-server`
  3. `sudo pro attach `
  4. `sudo pro enable livepatch esm-apps esm-infra`
  5. Verify: `pro status`

Token via SSM (`coily aws ssm put-parameter --type SecureString`) if we want to track it; not strictly required since attach is one-shot.
