# Take control of your infrastructure

Available with Ubuntu Pro

Landscape is a systems management tool that can be used as a web-based service or through an API. Landscape Server is available through Canonical either as a managed solution or Software-as-a-Service model, or it can be self-hosted. Landscape Client is installed on Ubuntu to enroll with Landscape Server.

Landscape automates security patching, auditing, access management and compliance tasks across your Ubuntu estate. Use it in well-connected or airgapped environments: at sea, in space and everywhere in between.

Landscape is available with an [Ubuntu Pro](https://ubuntu.com/pro) subscription.
