This Engine Yard technology stack is specifically for the Engine Yard Ubuntu v6 (19.05) OS distribution and applies to languages supported in the Engine Yard Cloud UI.
On a departure from previous versions, Stack v6 (19.05) is based on Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS (named 'Bionic Beaver'). When we say '19.05' it means that Engine Yard grabbed 'Bionic Beaver' as the status it was on May 2019 and build Stack v6 from it. As such, it benefits from security patching done by the larger Ubuntu community while retaining the same layout that older version of EY stack have. Chef recipes' structure is similar to previous stack (V5), and custom recipes can be converted to V6 with little to no effort.
Each component in the stack has been customized and optimized over thousands of developer hours by engineers at Engine Yard; our engineers include leading Ruby on Rails contributors, expert cluster engineers, Certified AWS Solutions Architects, and seasoned DBAs for web server performance, database efficiency, and long-term scalability. We meticulously test and fully integrate each new component and component update to provide reliability, security, and compatibility within the stack.
You can confidently deploy and manage your application with any Engine Yard product. Read about the many benefits of using our Platform as a Service offering.
Note: For clarity, since we now have 4 EY Stacks, we refer to this stack as the "Engine Yard Ubuntu 19.05" stack, or plainly "Stack v6". You can access it by using the Stack select field in the Environment UI:
