I feel like something similar happened with me middle of last year. I was studying for an Azure certification and deployed a few ubuntu servers. Around that time I received an email from someone named Aldo with 'Business Development' in their email signature.
We don't use anything from conanical at work and I've never signed up for anything from them that I recall. I remember at the time thinking it was weird to get this email when I had never before used an ubuntu server in azure. I certainly never expressed any interest in "running ubuntu in a secure manner on Azure" to anyone.
I received the email on June 6, 2020, and then several follow up emails when I didn't respond.
This was the message:
> With 85% of enterprises having either a mandate, preference or exploration of open source technology I've connected with many individuals, while working from home, who have reached out to discuss how we provide proactive security for Ubuntu deployments in the cloud. I understand you have similar interests around running Ubuntu in a secure manner on Azure.
> Ubuntu Pro, our carefully optimized image for production public cloud environments, provides all-inclusive patching for over 30,000 packages (for up to 10 years), FIPS 401-2 certification and Automated security profiles including CIS and DISA STIG.
> That is just a handful of ways we keep companies safe and I was hoping to show you more. How does your schedule look this week, or the next, for a quick chat?
