Ubuntu Linux Pro version provides 20 years of security maintenance, including kernel patching and compliance with standards such as FIPS and CIS, making it cost-effective. It is open-source and free, which is already beneficial for business purposes and for running any environment.
What about the implementation team?
I have reduced staff because I am using a centralized server to manage it with Ubuntu Linux.
What was our ROI?
By using Ubuntu Linux on the cloud, I am reducing costs by at least 22 percent by providing a feasible and secure environment.

I was not using another solution. I am new to this environment, so this is very relevant based on my experience.
What other advice do I have?

I provide the rating of eight because Ubuntu Linux is heavily used for business purposes with different benefits. For example, private users and small businesses can register, and the Hardy Heron release in April has led to wide industry adoption, server dominance, cloud, desktop compatibility, cost savings, and management tools.
I deploy Ubuntu Linux on an on-premises cloud as well as AWS public cloud. I use Amazon Web Services, the AWS cloud, for my public cloud deployment.

Discovering extensive documentation and seamless software integration elevates daily operations
What is our primary use case?
Ubuntu Linux is my operating system for daily use, and because I am related to networking operations, I prefer Linux over Windows. The FortiClient in Windows is very limiting and the IT department most of the time doesn't know how to open certain ports or are very limited in their skills with FortiClient, so I have more freedom to open ports and run some services with it.
What is most valuable?
One of the best features of Ubuntu Linux is that if I need something, I just download it. Everything I need I could search for on the net and just download it and use it, whereas Windows is more problematic.
Ubuntu Linux's rapid support and extensive documentation are fine to me. Every time I need to do something, I find well-explained documentation about the process, so I have no complaints about the documentation or the info about how to do it.
What needs improvement?
I always use just the LTS versions of Ubuntu Linux, but I found recently some software that needs the 20.04 version, which is out of the support lifecycle, and those systems are needed by us, causing a problem when I tried to upgrade. The systems stopped working and it was a disaster, as they support the LTS but the old ones, and when I need to update some packages, they are out of the support system support cycle.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have used Ubuntu Linux for maybe 12 years.
How are customer service and support?
I have never rated the support or customer service of Ubuntu Linux as I have never used it.

I have not used Ubuntu Linux's cloud-init capabilities for configuring or managing instances in cloud environments.
I don't know of any things that could be better with Ubuntu Linux, as everything works fine.

Using workstation features effectively with enhanced security
What is our primary use case?
I use Ubuntu Linux as a workstation to check my emails, to connect to people, to use Teams, to send mails, and to browse everything, similar to how we use Windows.
I use Ubuntu Linux as a replacement for Windows for everything. I use Teams, emails, Zoom, AnyDesk, and UltraViewer on it.
What is most valuable?
For system administration, I find it useful to connect to my Linux servers directly from the command line, and I create my virtual machines using VMware Workstation.
In terms of security, I am satisfied with Ubuntu Linux and I can rely on its security features more than I can with Windows.
What needs improvement?
There might be some features or limitations I would want to see improved, but I cannot think of any specific ones right now. It is easy to use.
The booting of Ubuntu Linux should be faster because I only have two minutes when I have calls, so it should complete more quickly.
