"You can scale the solution quite well."
"The tools we are using for this project are compatible with this solution."
"For us, OpenStack is awesome. We want something that will be much simpler than a broad and complicated solution."
"Some of the main features of this solution are it is less prone to viruses since most viruses are written for Microsoft software, and it is easy to use."
"It has a nice user interface and provides frequent updates."
"Ubuntu Linux is easy to start, and MicroK8s is easy to deploy. Plug into the back-end storage and networking is also easy. It is good to start with 3-4 nodes, but hard to scale. For production grades like 20 or 100 nodes, we go with the RedHat for on-premise."
"The development teams could sharpen their skills. They should offer applications on the net."
"Ubuntu could add some additional hardware support."
"It could be easier for beginners and the user interface could be more user-friendly."
"It could be better for working with software at a high resolution."
"When installing software, an online interface has to be used and commands written to run the installation. The solution could be improved if it was possible to click twice in an icon for the installation process to begin."
"The solution could be more stable and secure."
"It could always be a bit more secure."
"If I run an application, I need it to show up in Microsoft, so Microsoft can run in Ubuntu. It needs to connect better with Microsoft products."
"Ubuntu could be improved with more container integration and orchestration of those containers. We are looking to have more cloud-based solutions, like Docker, and container-based solutions, or Kubernetes-based solutions integrated with Ubuntu. Instead of going for VMs, we would like to have more container-based solutions on top of Ubuntu."
