Since the beginning of Ubuntu Server we have been preparing for this time, the time when a wholesale technology infrastructure change occurs and Ubuntu 14.04 arrives just as the change is starting to accelerate beyond the early adopters and technology companies. This is in large part due to their planned transition to cloud, be it on premise using technologies such as Ubuntu OpenStack, in a public cloud or, most commonly, using combinations of both. Recently 70% of CIOs stated that they are going to change their technology and sourcing relationships within the next two or three years. We are stirred up by how the adoption of Ubuntu, coupled with the adoption of cloud and scale out computing is set grow enormously as it fast becomes an ‘enterprise’ technology. So Ubuntu server is growing up and we are proud of what it has become. Ubuntu Server also is the fastest growing platform for scale out web computing having overtaken CentOS some six months ago. Ubuntu is dominant in public cloud with typically 60% market share of Linux workloads in the major cloud providers such as Amazon, Azure and Joyent. We are impressed because Ubuntu is gaining extensive traction outside of the tech luminaries such as Netflix, Snapchat and wider DevOP community it is being adopted by mainstream enterprises such as BestBuy. Everyone involved with Ubuntu can’t help but be impressed and stirred about the significance of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Today is a big day for Ubuntu and a big day for cloud computing: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is released.
