Today, December 20th, Ubuntu is running 4,840 instances on EC2, followed by CentOS, with 1,250, Fedora with 313; Oracle with 80; and Red Hat with a mere 73 instances. That’s a grand total of 1,716 for the Red Hat family, which means that Ubuntu is doing more than twice as well as all the Red Hat variants put together.
Windows and Azure? They’re back in the back with a mere 1,120 instances.
Still, it’s clear that Amazon’s cloud is a Linux world. I find it telling that Amazon recently introduced its own Linux starter cloud using, guess what, “Ubuntu’s CloudInit to simplify the process of customizing each instance. On the other hand, it appears to be, at heart, CentOS, so Ubuntu isn’t having all its own way.
