Linux Is Here: Ubuntu Now Available on V2 Cloud

Hey developers and IT teams,

While the world laces up for Cortina, we’re rolling out something that feels just as Canadian as fresh powder and long winters: Linux support has officially landed on V2 Cloud. Built for performance, reliability, and total freedom, just like your favorite backcountry trail, our Ubuntu-based VMs give devs and IT managers a smooth ride from setup to scale.

You can now run Linux workloads on V2 Cloud with the same ease, control, and simplicity you already enjoy with our Windows® environments. Ubuntu is now fully integrated into the V2 Cloud dashboard for straightforward setup, deployment, and management.

Linux and virtual computing are a natural fit. If you value Linux for its security, flexibility, and performance, deploying your workloads on V2 Cloud’s secure, scalable infrastructure just makes sense. Whether you’re a solo developer, a growing dev team, or a full enterprise IT department, you now have a clean, cost-effective way to run Linux in a fully managed cloud environment.

And because it’s V2 Cloud, you also get:

  • Anywhere access
  • Fast implementation
  • Simple management
  • Predictable pricing
  • Programmatic cybersecurity
  • Automated backup and restore
  • No hardware dependency or device risk
  • Centralized control instead of fragmented local systems

Your data stays secure in the cloud, exactly where you left it, not scattered across physical machines, laptops, or local servers.

This isn’t just for development teams. IT organizations can now bring Linux servers into their broader cloud strategy, extending cloud enablement to mission‑critical Linux systems and creating a more unified, resilient, centrally managed infrastructure.

Linux on V2 Cloud: Built for Real Workloads

Rather than treating Linux as a checkbox feature, V2 Cloud integrates it as a first‑class cloud workload, designed for production use, not experimentation.

Why Linux Fits Naturally in Cloud Environments

Linux remains the backbone of modern infrastructure for a reason:

Reliability and Stability
Built for long‑running workloads, predictable performance, and high‑uptime environments.

Security by Design
Strong privilege models, minimal attack surface, structured permissioning, and fast patch cycles.

Cost Efficiency
No OS licensing fees and full flexibility across open‑source tooling and support models.

Performance and Resource Efficiency
Low overhead, efficient resource utilization, and high performance for compute‑heavy, network‑intensive, and I/O‑driven workloads.

Portability and Flexibility
Runs across environments, architectures, containers, microservices, and hybrid stacks.

Modern Ecosystem and Tooling
Native support for CI/CD, DevOps pipelines, containers, automation, and observability tooling.

Vendor Neutrality
No lock‑in to proprietary platforms, formats, or upgrade cycles.

 

How V2 Cloud Optimizes Linux Deployments

Linux on V2 Cloud isn’t just “supported”; it’s optimized for cloud performance and operational efficiency:

  • Lightweight, optimized cloud images for fast provisioning
  • Rapid boot times for faster scaling and deployment
  • Efficient CPU scheduling and memory management
  • Lower VM footprints, reducing compute and storage costs
  • High VM density per host for better resource efficiency
  • Predictable performance under load
  • Programmatic backup and recovery
  • Integrated security controls and monitoring

This translates directly into lower operational overhead, better performance consistency, and reduced cloud cost per workload.

One Platform, More Possibilities

With Linux now available, V2 Cloud becomes a more complete cloud platform for mixed environments:

  • Windows workloads
  • Linux workloads
  • Hybrid application stacks
  • Dev environments
  • Production systems
  • Internal IT systems
  • Client environments
  • Multi‑tenant deployments

All managed through the same dashboard, billing model, access controls, and operational framework.

Linux projects belong in the cloud.
Now they belong on V2 Cloud.

Whether you’re building, scaling, migrating, or modernizing. Ubuntu on V2 Cloud gives you a secure, predictable, and fully managed platform to run Linux the right way.
