Question about Ubuntu Server
Hello everybody. At my workplace, we will migrate from CentOS to Ubuntu Server. However, reading about it on forums and official documentation, it was not clear to me which version of Ubuntu Server is best for the production medium, 18.04 or 20.04. Can someone tell me what better version I can implement for production servers? My best regards. Eduardo.
It will depend on the OpenStack version you will run in production.

Canonical (the company which produces Ubuntu) even has a commercially supported product built around running OpenStack on Ubuntu: https://ubuntu.com/openstack The Debian community maintains a comprehensive distribution of OpenStack as well: https://wiki.debian.org/OpenStack Hope that helps. -- Jeremy Stanley

Yes, and if you're an IRC person, I enjoy helping people. :) Join us on #debian-openstack on the OFTC network. If you didn't know about it, have a look here: https://salsa.debian.org/openstack-team/debian/openstack-cluster-installer This is fully in Debian Bullseye, which at this point, I would be advising to run OpenStack (even if it's not released yet, the fact that it is frozen is good enough for production, IMO). With this solution, you do not need *anything* outside of the Debian repositories (even the puppet modules are packaged). I like to say also that it's very flexible, and will install all the OpenStack components it can depending on what node type you install. I hope this helps, Cheers, Thomas Goirand (zigo)

Both 18.04 and 20.04 are "long-term support" releases, meaning Canonical will continue to provide security updates and other bug fixes in them for longer than the intermediate versions. 20.04 is, as its number would seem to indicate, newer than 18.04 (by roughly two years), so I wouldn't choose the older version unless you specifically need to run older software on it which won't work on the newer one for some reason. Since you posted this to the OpenStack discussion mailing list, I assume you're planning to install some version of OpenStack on Ubuntu. If so, you should look at our tested runtimes to see which platform was used to test the version of OpenStack you want to run: https://governance.openstack.org/tc/reference/project-testing-interface.html... -- Jeremy Stanley
