Canonical/Ubuntu: On Partner Archive and Kubernetes

Proposed deprecation of the Canonical partner archive
Hi folks, One of the things we do as part of opening the new Ubuntu development series is to enable that series for the Canonical partner archive.[1] The partner archive has been empty for all releases since groovy. In focal, the only package it contains is Adobe Flash - which will not be released in Jammy. The Snap Store has matured to the point that I believe it supersedes the partner archive, and we should remove this no-longer-used archive from Ubuntu systems going forward, pruning the cruft. This will require changes in several places across Ubuntu (livecd-rootfs, subiquity, ubiquity, curtin, cloud-init, python-apt) to remove references to archive.c.c, and changes to ubuntu-release-upgrader to clean up apt sources on upgrade between releases. This is all doable within the space of a release cycle. I have already solicited input within Canonical regarding this plan and have heard of no blockers. While it is unlikely that anyone in the community is going to have a problem with this deprecation if Canonical is not planning on publishing anything to it :), we want to be transparent to at least let know this change is coming.

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS will likely do away with the Ubuntu/Canonical Partner Archive where their software partners could upload select proprietary/binary-only software for easy access by Ubuntu users.
The Ubuntu Partner Archive has been where various extra software packages have been offered that may be proprietary software but blessed by Canonical and with significant user interest. Past examples include the likes of the Google Cloud SDK, Adobe Flash, TI Keystone HPC, the VMware view client, and other components.

Bare metal Kubernetes is a powerful set of technologies that builds on the best ideas behind the public and private cloud, yet abstracts away some toilsome aspects related to virtualisation management and networking. For operators and users, it provides significant benefits, making it easier and faster to ship and maintain complex, distributed applications.
