Ubuntu 24.04 LTS VPS — Noble Numbat Server

Ubuntu 24.04 ships with Linux kernel 6.8, bringing significant improvements to file system performance, hardware support, and security. The new kernel includes enhanced io_uring capabilities, improved BPF networking, and native support for the latest AMD and Intel server processors that power AnubizHost infrastructure.

Key package updates include Python 3.12, GCC 14, OpenSSL 3.2, and systemd 255. For developers, this means access to the latest language features, compiler optimizations, and cryptographic standards without maintaining third-party repositories.

Security improvements in 24.04 include AppArmor 4.0 with improved policy management, unprivileged user namespace restrictions that reduce kernel attack surface, and frame pointers enabled by default for better profiling and debugging. These features make 24.04 the most secure Ubuntu release to date for server deployments.

Ubuntu 24.04 is the natural choice for greenfield projects and teams who want the longest possible support runway. With standard support through 2029 and ESM through 2034, you can deploy today and receive security patches for a decade without planning a major OS migration.

• Container hosts — Docker and Podman run optimally on the 6.8 kernel with improved cgroup v2 support and overlayfs performance.
• AI and ML workloads — Python 3.12, CUDA toolkit compatibility, and improved NumPy/SciPy packaging make 24.04 ideal for data science.
• Web applications — Nginx, Apache, PHP 8.3, Node.js 20, and Go 1.22 are available from default repositories.
• Database servers — PostgreSQL 16, MySQL 8.0, and Redis 7.2 benefit from kernel I/O improvements.

For teams running Kubernetes, Ubuntu 24.04 is the recommended base image for worker nodes, providing the latest container runtime support and kernel features that cluster orchestration demands.

Ubuntu 24.04 takes full advantage of the AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon processors in our server fleet. The 6.8 kernel includes scheduler improvements that better distribute workloads across NUMA nodes, reducing cross-socket memory access latency. For multi-threaded applications, this translates to measurably higher throughput compared to older kernels.

File system performance sees a notable boost as well. The improved ext4 and XFS drivers in kernel 6.8 reduce metadata overhead for small file operations, which benefits applications like mail servers, Git repositories, and content management systems that handle thousands of small files daily.

Networking improvements include TCP performance optimizations and better handling of high-connection-count workloads. Combined with our 1 Gbps unmetered ports and DDoS-filtered uplinks, Ubuntu 24.04 on AnubizHost delivers the throughput and reliability that production services demand.

Plans start at $15 per month for 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, and 30 GB NVMe SSD. Production-grade configurations with 4 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, and 200 GB NVMe are available for growing applications. Enterprise tiers reach 8 vCPU, 32 GB RAM, and 400 GB NVMe for high-demand workloads.
