Today we met Justin at CentOS connect and we took the opportunity to have a first look into our server poll.

Up to today we have 4077 participants but just 548 answered the complete set of questions. The difference is big, but not necessarily a problem. We have to take a closer look at the incomplete items.

Usage: ====== 84% home-lab 44& professional use / SMB 08% Enterprise 11% various other

This doesn’t add to 100% because you can mark more than one usage type!

How use it: =========== 36% no VM, bare metal only 47% VM on self administered hardware 31% on various providers 2 providers stand out: Hetzner 6%, Digital Ocean 4%

70% use it as Web server / for web application

(You can mark multiple categories here, too)

That’s just a very rough first impression. There is a huge amount of interesting information. It will take some efforts to do a valid and complete analysis. But I think it provides us a first impression on which we can make a decision about additional advertising. I think it would be worthwhile.
