Hosting websites and databases has become cost‑effective and supports long‑term cloud growth
What is our primary use case?
I use Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS for website hosting and for application stacks like Apache and MySQL. I am using Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS for hosting my website, and for the database, I use MySQL to host the application and get the response from the MySQL database.
I use Ubuntu Linux in different fields including cloud and virtualization, containerization, database management, file and network sharing, and development and DevOps. I use Ubuntu Linux for my AWS application, as Ubuntu Linux Server is used for heavily utilized hosting websites, databases, and cloud applications.
What is most valuable?
The best feature of Ubuntu Linux is that it serves as a base for private cloud and public cloud VMs for AWS.
It is very useful to use Ubuntu Linux with its GUI-based and CLI modes; the commands are very lightweight, and it is much more feasible for me with its long-term support.
Ubuntu Linux provides business advisory consultancy for business purposes and enables the smooth running of my website hosting to meet all business purposes.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is good because I am using the freeware version.
What needs improvement?
The user experience on Ubuntu Linux is very good, so I believe there is no need for improvement.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Ubuntu Linux for the last five years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Ubuntu Linux is definitely stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Ubuntu Linux is widely used for business purposes including app storage, development, and staging environments. From my perspective as a user, I would rate Linux at eight points for its high scalability and greater relevance and advantage in terms of adherence, cost-saving, desktop compatibility, cloud server dominance, and wide industry adoption. I believe it is good for new users as well as for experienced people.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support for Ubuntu Linux was very good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Ubuntu Linux, I was using Windows applications for application purposes. However, because of its lightweight and user-friendly environment, I am now using Ubuntu Linux 22.04 LTS for all relevant business purposes.
How was the initial setup?
Ubuntu Linux Pro version provides 20 years of security maintenance, including kernel patching and compliance with standards such as FIPS and CIS, making it cost-effective. It is open-source and free, which is already beneficial for business purposes and for running any environment.
What about the implementation team?
I have reduced staff because I am using a centralized server to manage it with Ubuntu Linux.
What was our ROI?
By using Ubuntu Linux on the cloud, I am reducing costs by at least 22 percent by providing a feasible and secure environment.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I was not using another solution. I am new to this environment, so this is very relevant based on my experience.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate Ubuntu Linux an eight.
I provide the rating of eight because Ubuntu Linux is heavily used for business purposes with different benefits. For example, private users and small businesses can register, and the Hardy Heron release in April has led to wide industry adoption, server dominance, cloud, desktop compatibility, cost savings, and management tools.
I deploy Ubuntu Linux on an on-premises cloud as well as AWS public cloud. I use Amazon Web Services, the AWS cloud, for my public cloud deployment.
My overall review rating for Ubuntu Linux is eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Discovering extensive documentation and seamless software integration elevates daily operations
What is our primary use case?
Ubuntu Linux is my operating system for daily use, and because I am related to networking operations, I prefer Linux over Windows. The FortiClient in Windows is very limiting and the IT department most of the time doesn't know how to open certain ports or are very limited in their skills with FortiClient, so I have more freedom to open ports and run some services with it.
What is most valuable?
One of the best features of Ubuntu Linux is that if I need something, I just download it. Everything I need I could search for on the net and just download it and use it, whereas Windows is more problematic.
Ubuntu Linux's rapid support and extensive documentation are fine to me. Every time I need to do something, I find well-explained documentation about the process, so I have no complaints about the documentation or the info about how to do it.
What needs improvement?
I always use just the LTS versions of Ubuntu Linux, but I found recently some software that needs the 20.04 version, which is out of the support lifecycle, and those systems are needed by us, causing a problem when I tried to upgrade. The systems stopped working and it was a disaster, as they support the LTS but the old ones, and when I need to update some packages, they are out of the support system support cycle.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Ubuntu Linux for maybe 12 years.
How are customer service and support?
I have never rated the support or customer service of Ubuntu Linux as I have never used it.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with the pricing for Ubuntu Linux is that I always use the free version, so I never paid for any installations or support.
What other advice do I have?
I have not used Ubuntu Linux's cloud-init capabilities for configuring or managing instances in cloud environments.
I don't know of any things that could be better with Ubuntu Linux, as everything works fine.
On a scale of one to ten, I would rate Ubuntu Linux a 10 plus.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Using workstation features effectively with enhanced security
What is our primary use case?
I use Ubuntu Linux as a workstation to check my emails, to connect to people, to use Teams, to send mails, and to browse everything, similar to how we use Windows.
I use Ubuntu Linux as a replacement for Windows for everything. I use Teams, emails, Zoom, AnyDesk, and UltraViewer on it.
What is most valuable?
For system administration, I find it useful to connect to my Linux servers directly from the command line, and I create my virtual machines using VMware Workstation.
In terms of security, I am satisfied with Ubuntu Linux and I can rely on its security features more than I can with Windows.
What needs improvement?
There might be some features or limitations I would want to see improved, but I cannot think of any specific ones right now. It is easy to use.
The booting of Ubuntu Linux should be faster because I only have two minutes when I have calls, so it should complete more quickly.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Ubuntu Linux for four years.
What was my experience with deployment of the solution?
I have not faced any challenges with Ubuntu Linux such as integration or any other challenges.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
