Ubuntu Server is No Longer the Best OS for Cloud Computing

• click170 15y ago
  Hold the phone, was there consensus that Ubuntu was the best OS for cloud computing? 'Cause I wasn't aware of that if it's the case.

  I use Ubuntu Server exclusively and Juju looks amazing, but the title of this blog post really got under my skin. I kept reading through the post trying to relate what was being said to the title and eventually started skipping paragraphs to see if the author was going to tell me why I should stop using Ubuntu Server. That never happened; the title is a red herring apparently designed to draw attention to what is a really a post about the (apparently favourable) economics of scaling out Ubuntu Server. Which is fine, but that's not the article I wanted to read based on the title - please don't do that. I'm happy with my choice and didn't want to read a advertorial reaffirming it.

    He does sort of explain it: "what Ubuntu Server should actually drive towards is being the best OS for scale-out computing." (Which I guess also includes cloud.) But this is definitely an achievement in headlines: both linkbait and confusing.
