MicroCloud runs on Ubuntu and benefits from all [Ubuntu platform security measures](https://ubuntu.com/security), including kernel hardening, signed packages, and continuous security maintenance. For production environments, we recommend using a recent Ubuntu LTS release to ensure long-term support and predictable security updates.

Ubuntu LTS releases subscribed to Ubuntu Pro can use the [Ubuntu Security Guide (USG)](https://documentation.ubuntu.com/security/compliance/usg/) for CIS hardening. Refer to the LXD documentation on {ref}`lxd:howto-security-harden-cis` for related details about auditing LXD hosts with USG.
