I have 15 years of experience with multiple Linux distributions and have maintained web and application servers for 10 years. I am proficient in Gentoo, Debian/Ubuntu, OpenSUSE and RHEL derived distros. I don't have much experience with Amazon EC2 but have worked with multiple providers of cloud servers that offer better pricing per compute, like Hetzner, Linode and Vultr. I have also maintained dedicated servers for private cloud hosting with KVM (QEmu) and VirtualBox.
