Reliable, secure, and automation-friendly Linux for modern infrastructure
Reliable, secure, and automation-friendly Linux for modern infrastructure
Where it Fits
Ideal for cloud, container, and DevOps environments where speed and consistency matter. Works equally well across hybrid and on-prem systems.
Strengths
Reliable, secure, and automation-friendly. Backed by Canonical with strong tooling and cloud support for fast, scalable deployments.
Watchouts
Snap packaging and interim releases need planning. HWE kernels boost compatibility but may require extra driver care.
See Other Linux Distributions:
Ubuntu was founded in 2004 by Mark Shuttleworth and built on Debian, with a mission to make Linux more accessible, reliable, and enterprise-ready. Backed by Canonical Ltd., it introduced predictable release cycles and long-term support (LTS) versions — a game-changer for businesses that value stability.
Over the years, Ubuntu has become the most widely used Linux distribution across servers, clouds, and containers. Its focus on security, automation, and open-source collaboration keeps it at the core of modern infrastructure.
At Crafty Penguins, Ubuntu is the foundation of all our internal infrastructure. Every system and stack we rely on — from our development environments and CI/CD pipelines to our monitoring, backup, and automation servers — runs on Ubuntu.
We use Ubuntu because it gives us the consistency, stability, and flexibility we need to operate efficiently. Its predictable LTS release cycle, robust package ecosystem, and strong security model make it an ideal platform for our engineers to build and maintain reliable services.
By standardizing our internal infrastructure on Ubuntu, we ensure that the same environment we recommend to clients is the one we use daily. This alignment allows us to deeply understand its strengths, stay ahead of updates, and continually refine our best practices for automation, security, and scalability.
