Anbox Cloud Appliance

Run Android applications on virtualized cloud devices and stream their graphical output in real time to web or mobile clients with Anbox Cloud Appliance. Canonical’s appliance is a small-scale form of Anbox Cloud for developing Android-in-the-cloud solutions, giving teams a sandbox for mobile cloud computing experiments. It targets corporate innovation labs and startups that need to prototype services involving Android applications and virtualized mobile devices.

Developers can upload Android applications, configure and virtualize Android devices, and manage them through a command-line interface or web user interface. These controls combine application deployment, device configuration, and streamed output in a workflow for testing and prototyping Android cloud experiences. Typical projects include game streaming, cloud-based mobile application management, mobile device virtualization, and mobile application testing. The appliance is sized for development-lab work rather than general desktop use, helping teams investigate how cloud infrastructure can deliver or manage Android experiences.

Canonical publishes version 1.30.2-2261b77f3 for Linux in the Developer Tools category under a commercial license, with amd64 and arm64 support and a snapd requirement. A valid Ubuntu Pro subscription is required to use it.
