Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Using openSUSE Tumbleweed as a host for cluster in processing data on spark engine, It is helping to easily use ssh to reach the cluster and submit the jobs and also to track the logs.
Pros and Cons
  • uses hardware too wisely.
  • easy to setup machines.
  • easy to ssh the machines hosted.
Likelihood to Recommend
Good to host applications which needs good utilization of hardware like distributed processing like spark, Less appropriate where have to impose EU and non-GPL regulations
Most Important Features
  • It is the USER who decide how a server or desktop should look like. NOT someone with some influence with the distro-organisation.
  • you are not stuck to the delivery scheme of the release.
  • on SUSE’s OBS, you can build for any hardware and for any distro.
Return on Investment
  • Easy to get into the cluster and track logs.
  • Easy to configure.
Alternatives Considered

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use openSUSE Tumbleweed for development and hosting systems which require latest software versions which are not yet available in openSUSE Leap. With Tumbleweed you install a server and you never have to make version to version upgrades - you just make routine system package updates and you always have the latest software versions. Forever.
Pros and Cons
  • Latest package versions
  • Never need to make version to version upgrades
  • Works stable
Likelihood to Recommend
openSUSE Tumbleweed is well suited for hosting fast developing systems and application Docker images, but if you are going to host applications which does not change for years, you'll get in trouble after some time, because system packages will be newer than your legacy application can understand. And then your application will start to fail.
Most Important Features
  • Newest software versions
  • Stable
  • Small (in size) Docker image
Return on Investment
  • Easier development
  • Access to latest software

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
openSUSE Tumbleweed is used as a workstation product for developers. It is suitable for us as it offers a wide range of software packages, tested, and close to the latest release.
It allows us to stay on top of the latest hardware support and also make it simple and painless to develop containerised workloads, in comparison to alternative operating systems.
Pros and Cons
  • Frequent software updates
  • Simplified rollback in case of upgrade problems
  • Great container-based development support
Likelihood to Recommend
openSUSE Tumbleweed is best suited to developers, system administrators, and other power users. Beginning users looking for stability and less-frequent package updates will likely be served by alternatives such as openSUSE Leap.
Most Important Features
  • Transactional updates
  • Up-to-date kernel versions
  • Podman for containers support
Return on Investment
  • Faster turnaround in container-based development
  • Less effort in integrating the latest versions of development tools
Alternatives Considered
openSUSE Tumbleweed is a fast-moving and quick-updating Linux distribution. It aims to deliver the latest versions of software packages while being automatically tested before each release. openSUSE Leap has a slower release face and is more suited for users looking to use a certain vetted set of packages which only receive bug fixes.
