Make the most of your infrastructure. With Ubuntu Server 13.04, you can deploy a cloud, a Hadoop cluster, or a web farm that scales out to meet your growing needs. Out of the box, Ubuntu Server has the tools you need to deploy a complex network of services, with the ability to build highly available, secure, and flexible OpenStack production clouds and to collaborate with VMware vSphere. Freely available Juju Charms for Node.js, Django, Ruby on Rails, and others deploy ready-made services quickly and easily, whereas MAAS provisioning lets you deliver virtual instances and storage on demand in minutes.
The 64-bit server install image on this month's CD is for computers with the AMD64 or EM64T architecture (e.g., Athlon64, Opteron, EM64T Xeon, Core 2). Ubuntu Server emphasizes scale-out computing, whether you are administering an OpenStack cloud, a Hadoop cluster, or a massive render farm.
Canonical designed Ubuntu Server to begin with a lean initial installation, adding integrated deployment and application modeling technologies for simple deployment and management at scale.
The Ubuntu Server 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish) long-term support (LTS) release is suitable for enterprise-class deployments "from the data center to the edge" and will be supported until 2032.
