I thought that was common knowledge? Amazon Linux is now the default instance, but that was not always the case. Ubuntu enjoyed a huge uptick in "cloud" usage because of EC2.

Amazon Linux is not based on Ubuntu. (And I edited my comment since the wording was unclear... sorry if that caused confusion)

I think they mean Ubuntu was the default before Amazon Linux was even a thing. As I recall, that's correct, but I don't know where to find a citation on that. Amazon Linux only rolled out to production in 11/2011, so less than half of EC2's life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Machine_Image#Amazon_Li.... It's

With all due respect: I don't buy it. That isn't how the technology works. Compilation in particular would never even hit the hypervisor layer regardless of which one you were utilising. It is CPU/memory bound. The difference between hypervisors for IO is tiny. They're all slower than native, but vary very little between one another. That's why the manufacturers have all almost given up trying to use performance for…

I have a developer who can show a marked difference in performance between VMWare Fusion (paid) and VirtualBox (free) running Windows 7 on OSX. Same Windows ISO used to install both, and both running on the same hardware and OS, with exact VM configs (as close a you can get between the two). I'm talking a night-and-day difference - VMWare Fusion is usable, but VirtualBox is not. After reading your comment, and admitt…

I'd be interested in the same test with the latest VirtualBox 5 - you can use HyperV by switching a setting in the VM control panel.

It might be the best for all of your projects, but not for everyone else. It has it's flaws, like everything else, and I'm happy for you that you haven't used it (or anything else) for long enough to discover them.

Anyone is free to use the tool/framework of their preference, but not to make ignorant statements about other frameworks w/o even knowing them.

It's weird because there is no good reason to force you to use a different routing system in order to use REST routing. It's especially surprising considering how Rails-inspired it is otherwise.

Obviously you are misinformed, becuase ASP.NET MVC and Web API share the same Route Handler, heck, even I could make my own framework and use the same Route Handler, because it is a decoupled module, so, I invite you to learn more about the topic before making such ignorant statements.

I invite you to be more civil. As for .NET MVC, the fact remains that the default routing system is fairly mediocre, for no particular reason, while many other frameworks offer more flexibility with one system. Now, if it's good for you, by all means, keep using it.

I can be civil till certaint point, but how to be more civil when you have no idea of what you are talking about and instead of admiting it you just keep making more ignorant statemens?, just say "I have no clue" and that's it, nobody is going to judge you.

>the fact remains that the default routing system is fairly mediocre, for no particular reason

You keep repeating the same as a broken record, yet, you have presented zero evidence, there is no route that I have implemented in Java that I wasn't able to replicate in the same way or even more easily in .NET, be it MVC or Web Api, so please, present some evidence or go home.

Hi aexaey, There are some things wrong on your comment, please let me comment on them: I don't think A0 are capped at all, I don't know where did you get that: user@A0VM:~$ speedtest-cli Retrieving speedtest.net configuration...

ILPIP look promising. I'll try it, thanks! Speed test though... hm... 22Mbit/s is not exactly unrestricted, plus not sure how long is the burst that "speedtest-cli" makes. In my experience A0's uplink is burstable (but unusably slow when recovering from a burst), with long-term average being bang-on 5Mbps. I do of course see exactly one "my" private IP in traceroute, but I'm not talking about that. I meant there are…

I'm not fooling myself into seeing this as anything but a "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" setup. RedHat is getting a ton out of this, and so is Microsoft. Who's the main target for Azure? Enterprise companies who trust Microsoft implicitly. When an exec comes to the head of IT and says "we need to be on the cloud! I read about it!", Azure eases the transition by being able to go to vendor you've already bee…

This was the biz model for LinuxCare.... but they failed.

Ubuntu rules cloud instances elsewhere? I almost always see the choices as CentOS or RedHat. But that might be my myopic view cause I am always just looking for those right off the bat.

CentOS / RHEL are non-starters for cutting edge work in machine learning due to their ancient mathematics and scientific libraries

Sorry I don't see how. RHEL7 is quite modern, however, you could always get bleeding edge anything with software collections[1], of which Redhat has a blessed set of packages in software collections named the developer toolset[2].

I know Microsoft pretty well, and it would have wanted to support as many versions as possible, within the available time-frame. It obviously didn't just support SuSE, so your implied either/or is just yet more of your spin. I don't know Red Hat that well (it's a few years since we've talked), but it has a strong focus on its own cloud business (1). It might have seen Azure as a rival to Red Hat cloud services, but t…

SUSE partnered with Microsoft, that's true, before SUSE was bought by Microfocus:

Worked out well for Xamarin. Also, it seems to me that SUSE is still in good shape, but didn't continued to grow like RedHat.

Novell didn't crash because of linux and SUSE. Suse was the healthy core of the company and was growing in recent years. The original Novell business however died, it had nothing to do with linux.
