MySQL on Windows or Linux I am new to the Database region while have to migrate the company's database from AWS RDS to AWS EC2 and subscribe MySQL Enterprise edition.

What I am confused now is which OS should I choose, Windows or Linux? The most important thing is the performance, which one would MySQL perform better? If its Linux, is it possible to use Ubuntu OS? Can anyone help to advise?

Really appreciate!
It depends on the person who is managing the server. you can make decision based on following points:


If you are familiar with commands based administrative tasks, then Ubuntu Server edition is a better choice, as finding and installing required tools is easier compared to other distros. Best part is reduced overhead of Licencing and GUI.
If you prefer GUI based administration, then windows is good choice.
