Description
Ubuntu is extremely popular on the AWS cloud. From servers on EC2 and Lightsail to containers on ECS and EKS, services like AI/ML, and desktops on Amazon Workspaces, users of AWS consume a lot of Ubuntu. This will be a high-level overview of what has been done and what work still needs to be done, what works and what doesn’t. We will review collaborative efforts that have produced a better Ubuntu on AWS, including kernel optimizations and images. We will discuss what services integrate with Ubuntu or offer Ubuntu as a platform or a deployment option. We will review things that don’t currently work as well as they might, and touch on major pain points. We will conclude with discussion about how Amazon’s “customer obsession” can help the community drive innovation.
