I use Fedora since its first release to power tens of servers. Today I have servers running KVM infrastructures, Ceph, the core monitoring system of a nuclear power plant (we are migrating from F23 to F25 on July), scientific calculations servers, my own laptop, backup servers, samba servers, web services, and I probably forget a few!
I started with Fedora because it used to have the latest drivers for new hardware. Nowadays high end hardware does not change as fast, so you can probable get away with a CentOS distribution.
Normally I install a reasonably recent version on my laptop (I'm running F25 now), then migrate non-critical servers like Zabbix or proxies, and as gain confidence I move the rest.
On the personal side, it allows me to evolve, like updating the code to more recent gcc versions, learn how to deal with systemd, or dnf, or firewalld, etc. I still don't like NetworkManager for servers :-)
That's it, I'm a fan!

Hey! Are you a user of Fedora in a server context? I'd love to hear from you (either in public or private, on the record or off). How do you use Fedora? Do you use it in production? At scale? (If so, know you're not alone.)
Do you find Fedora Server as defined at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Server/Product_Requirements_Document useful to you? Do you fit into the target audiences and use cases? Or, are you using Fedora Server in a different way? Or, Fedora _as_ a server but not the Server edition?
Thanks!
