The sixth survey of OpenStack users since April 2013 has been released to better understand attitudes, organizational profiles, use cases, and technology choices across the community’s various deployment stages and sizes. As far as operating systems running OpenStack deployments, the survey found that “Ubuntu Server provides the majority of operating systems for running OpenStack deployments, increasing its lead by 10% over the past six months. CentOS remains steady in second place with about a quarter of deployments, while its sister RHEL increases by 2%. SLES increased by 1%, as did Fedora and the Scientific Linux distribution.” And, “going one level deeper,” the survey found that, “among OpenStack deployments with more than 1,000 users, of which there were a non-representative set of 35 responses, 65% reported using the Ubuntu server, followed by CentOS selected by 23%.”
