The RISC-V software ecosystem has grown steadily over the last few years. For embedded software it is reasonably complete, with good compiler, RTOS, and IDE support. The Linux kernel is also well supported, with RISC-V long having upstream support, and RVA23 now supported too. Canonical moved to requiring RVA23 with the release of Ubuntu 25.10, ready for the next generation of RISC-V silicon. But building out a data center takes more than just a good desktop experience. This poster/paper will examine the other elements required including provisioning, hypervisors, containers, orchestration, and also discusses how to manage custom instructions, security, maintenance. Going beyond theory, it discusses the data center Canonical will be building to include RISC-V RVA23 silicon supporting the Launchpad.net community website as well as other uses.
