Ubuntu 14.04 is the latest version of the Linux-based open-source operating system released by Canonical. It does not bring too many changes to PC and mobile users. It is only a small number of updates for them. For server users, this latest and most significant Ubuntu version update has brought more functions, especially in automation, cloud computing, and virtualization.

For desktop and mobile users, the most significant change to Ubuntu14.04, which will officially show up on April 10, April 17, is,It updates the AppArmor security system.. This is the most important new feature in the desktop/mobile version. It is a kernel enhancement package that runs in the background, people who use Ubuntu on mobile phones or tablets may not feel any major changes in Ubuntu 14.04.

However, in the server world, the latest Ubuntu version has brought about more substantial changes. In particular,It upgraded Puppet to version 3rd.Puppet is an open-source platform for automated IT infrastructure management. This is an important update that can bring convenience to people who deploy large Ubuntu server networks (but after they solve the compatibility problem between the earlier versions of Puppet and the latest versions, the old and new versions are not fully compatible with each other ).

Ubuntu 14.04 will also bring open-sourceVirtualization hypervisor Xen version 4.4. This change requires some necessary adjustments to the old Xen deployment environment to switch to the new version. However, it provides more new features and helps manage the diversity of Virtual Environments on Ubuntu servers, including a large number of virtualization management programs, VMware (VMW), KVM, and Xen.

Finally, the Ubuntu 14.04 kernel is based on Linux 3.13 and brings new features such as better SSD performance. This is also very popular with server users, especially those who have high performance requirements in the cloud and big data fields.

This Ubuntu 14.04 is a long-term support (LTS) version, which is also the version that server users are most likely to use in the production environment for a long time, rather than the LTS version, it does not make any sense for the actual production environment. While Canonical continues to focus on "unification" on PCs and mobile devices, Ubuntu's automation, virtualization, and storage software updates are available at the right time, it is conducive to maintaining the competitiveness of Ubuntu in the server market.
