In the latest OpenStack user survey, we see that OpenStack is finally gaining real momentum in private clouds. We also see that Ubuntu Linux is continuing to dominate OpenStack.
The previous survey showed Ubuntu OpenStack at 33 percent of production clouds. Ubuntu has seen almost 67 percent growth in an area where Ubuntu was already the market leader. These numbers are a huge testament to the community support Ubuntu OpenStack receives every day."
Ubuntu isn't just popular with the OpenStack crew. The Cloud Market's latest analysis of operating systems on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) shows Ubuntu with just over 215,000 instances.
Ubuntu is followed by Amazon's own Amazon Linux Amazon Machine Image (AMI), with 86,000 instances. Further back, you'll find Windows with 26,000 instances. In fourth and fifth place, respectively, you'll find Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) with 16,500 instances and then CentOS with 12,500 instances.
"the cloud" is a marketing meme.

Call it SERVERS then. It's the same thing and definitely not a meme.
Ubuntu wins because it's actually brilliantly good
Thank you based Ubuntu

I prefer Debian. It's stable, not bloated, and quick to set up. Perfect for servers.
I just don't like the cloud meme. Giving up control over your data and infrastructure is just a bad idea.
Did you see that recent thing where a guy accidentally rm -rf'd all his customers' servers and their backups? That's what the cloud meme gets you.
The only time the Linux distro matters a little bit is on your personal machine. Everywhere else *nix is *nix (even OSX), you should be able to get your shit done on any *nix machine.
Your personal machine is your personal choice of distro, so who cares.

This is the joke of the year. Why people prefer Ubuntu is because it NEVER BREAKS on cloud upgrades and it has THE BEST TOOLS.

Hello unemployment my old friend

This is how I know you're functionally tech illiterate. That could have happened to any offline backups too.

I don't think you know what the word "offline" means.
Ubuntu keeps winning
Year of Ubuntu?

"The cloud" refers to a virtual server that is actually run on top of a serverfarm which specifics (location, physical resources, etc.) are abstracted away.
Archfags are literally on suicide watch. Their shit distro is only relevant on REDDIT r/linux where they seem to gang up on anyone saying anything bad about their shifty hobby babble's first paint by numbers bistro.
Following instructions on a wiki doesn't make you a Linux expert or a hacker. You're even lower than a script kiddie.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. It does take quite some skill to repair X once arch breaks it.

does this survey count xubuntu/lubuntu/kubuntu and other variants as ubuntu???
>>54077224
No, because those aren't used for servers.
>>54077262
lies and slander

Where have you seen a Kubuntu server?
Definitive proof of UBUNTU's dominance.

explanation of this picture
Ubuntufag
>I downloaded the ISO and it came with this pool and cabana thing all for free. Did I mention the pool dug itself and the house built itself on their own in 15 minutes? It's capable of doing 1000 things, I just use it for a house, works perfectly. If it can do shit that I never need, I don't care, I just never push those buttons. Now that I'm finished let me tell you about my comfy quilts I make as you can see

>Digging the pool yourself means it will fill up 3% faster, fags.
>Not even using a crane or any machine to move this dirt faster, I'll move it all manually by hand. Was having lots of fun using a spoon but that broke sadly. Honestly, thinking of only taking up half loads with this shovel so it takes longer
>Steel houses are better, real hardcores can sleep on hard steel and be like "I don't even give a fuck, yo"
>It's actually finished. The fact that it's missing all those amenities is a GOOD thing
>This pain I'm obviously in is a sign of strength because I can take it
>This will take a few weeks to do myself but once it's finished it will be better than ubuntufag's house. Also I don't really plan to do anything with it once it's finished besides just compare it to his and show him "I could do it too"

Virtual servers existed long before "the cloud" it's just servers.

And because *relative* idiots can use it.
I know a few clubs who use it for the common pool/archive computers and one family that uses it, because it is so hard to fuck something up with it.
>>54077794
Usability for relative idiots is probably the #1 most important feature of an operating system outside of the extremes of both high and low performance needs.
>>54077794
It's used everywhere
>>54077464
Not saying otherwise, just explaining why simply calling it "server" is inaccurate.
>>54077844
Indeed

What the hell does this have to do with IT professionals using it in servers?
