"Public cloud workloads have largely avoided RHEL."

I wonder how accurate that statement really is, and likely even less so if you include CentOS.

As far as container workloads, well those seem to be more and more avoiding RHEL/CentOS, but also Ubuntu as well, whilst moving to very minimal images based upon the likes of Alpine, etc.

I know the data for one large cloud. There’s more Ubuntu than all the others put together, by some distance. Don’t see why it would be different on the other public clouds. They do a lot behind the scenes to make it work really well on each public cloud, which explains why people choose it.

> We are determined that Ubuntu is judged as the world’s most secure, most cost-effective and most faithful vehicle for open source initiatives.

Thats quite a bold statement. Apparently they know for a fact how everyone in the world perceives them?

You are not understanding what it means to be determined that something be the case.

I'm not a native English speaker and it's not a figure of speech I'm familiar with. Learned something new today ;-).

lol, CentOS, the one true Linux found in most large companies.

I'm waiting for the Canonical acquisition announcement by another big tech company. It'll be next...
