Good day,
I am new to IFS cloud deploying the solution on premise. We have been advised to do the application on Ubuntu but we prefer Red hat or suse, please advise.
Question
Application operating system
+13Hi
For IFS Cloud (on‑prem / remote deployments), the operating system choice for the middle tier is not flexible in the same way as traditional IFS Applications. Based on the current supported platform direction, the IFS Cloud middle tier is certified specifically on Ubuntu Linux (LTS versions).
The key reason for this is that IFS Cloud is built around a standardized, containerized platform (Kubernetes based architecture), and Ubuntu is the distribution that IFS has tested, certified, and aligned with its deployment tooling and automation.
Note:
- The requirement mainly applies to the application (middle tier) servers.
- Other components (like database servers) may have their own supported platform matrix, but the application tier is the strict one.
-
Documentation and remote deployment guides also explicitly point to Ubuntu Server as the expected Linux distribution for the middle tier setup.
Even if your organization standard prefers RHEL or SUSE, it is strongly advised to:
- Use Ubuntu LTS for the IFS Cloud middle tier, and
- Keep other infrastructure (DB, monitoring, etc.) aligned with your internal standards where possible.
