More and more cloud users are turning to Ubuntu for their needs on public clouds. On the private cloud side you can find us on [most production deployments of OpenStack](https://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/openstack), and we’re bringing you the [latest bits of Kubernetes](http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/kubernetes) and other exciting cloud technologies, like [fresh Docker packages](https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/11/30/docker-and-canonical-partner-on-cs-docker-engine-for-ubuntu-users/).
