Canonical isn’t exactly carrying any real load outside of what it produces for itself. Canonical has never sponsored or even contributed heavily to a major upstream project that’s consumed by the rest of the community that I can think of. Canonical depends on GCC, the Linux kernel, much of the GNOME infrastructure (but famously, not GNOME Shell), Python, GNU utilities, and so forth. But how much do they actually contribute to those projects? Fantastically little.

It's a bit early to suggest that there's One True Approach to providing services to your business. As you might guess, I'm a big fan of cloud computing and using cloud services when it's appropriate. However, I also respect a conservative approach to adopting new technology and models of computing.
