The most recent OpenStack user survey has gone live. In it we see tremendous growth for Ubuntu OpenStack in production clouds. Were super excited about the support the community continues to show for Ubuntu. Here at Canonical we get to work with the worlds largest production OpenStack clouds, from telco to big data and pure IaaS clouds, Ubuntu OpenStack is everywhere. For that, we are thankful to the incredible open source community.
Ubuntu OpenStack continues to dominate the majority of deployments with 55% of production OpenStack clouds. The last survey showed Ubuntu OpenStack at 33% of production clouds thats almost 67% growth in an area where Ubuntu was already the market leader! These numbers are a huge testament to the community support Ubuntu OpenStack receives every day. We couldnt be more proud of how the open source and OpenStack community have made the Ubuntu family part of their own.
Up 2% from the previous survey, 36% of users are now installing unmodified OpenStack packages from the distribution vendor. I imagine for Ubuntu OpenStack clouds that number is even larger. Thats because Ubuntu users know they have the latest, most stable version of OpenStack already available to them. Theres no lag in package releases, and theres confidence in the community and Canonical to support them. It also helps standardize the cloud deployments, driving better economics, which brings us to another great point.
Juju, our application modeling and deployment tool, is also picking up traction as an OpenStack installer. OpenStack installations can be tricky, they can be complex; but with Juju, they become easier with an almost building blocks like approach.
Since the last user survey, Juju has increased its market share as a deployment/management tool by 50%. Thats validation and momentum in the right direction of building OpenStack clouds. Jujus best practices and application intelligence are built into each application you build. Repeatable, standard results build cloud economics that work. If you havent tried installing OpenStack with Juju, you should check it out.
