Pollen is a high-performance, scalable, free web server that provides 'Entropy-as-a-Service' by offering small strings of entropy over both HTTPS and clear-text HTTP connections. Canonical provides a Pollen server as a service to the Ubuntu community at https://entropy.ubuntu.com. Beginning with Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu cloud images include the Pollinate client, which will try (for up to 3 seconds at first boot) to seed the PRNG with input from https://entropy.ubuntu.com. This snap package is specifically designed to work with the Pollen charm in order to provide easy and seamless deployment within a juju-managed environment. This snapped pollen includes additional support for Prometheus metrics to integrate with Canonical Observability Stack.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Kubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Kubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
Versions of Kubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf) don’t include snap by default, but snap can be installed from the command line as follows:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
To install gtrkiller-pollen, simply use the following command:
