Dear All,
We would like to move Moodle from windows (on premise ) into AWS Linux cloud platform. What will be the latest Moodle(4.X) compatible version for Linux Redhat? Pleaes advice.
Do you recommend Linux/nginx/Ubuntu? .You might have more experience in this regard.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thank you
Hello @Hussain,
You can install Moodle in any linux platform. Detail documentation is here - https://docs.moodle.org/403/en/Unix_or_Linux_Installation
Ubuntu documentation is the updated one for Moodle 4.x is here - https://docs.moodle.org/403/en/Step-by-step_Installation_Guide_for_Ubuntu

@Hussain ...
A little confused?
Linux is an operating system ... you ask about RedHat but then mention Ubuntu.
Nginx is a web server ...
One could write a book in response .... but no one will do that! 
Links provided to you already ... be sure to read the 'fine print' ... the link that goes to RedHat is about RHEL8 ... whose future is now pretty much defunct. RH is commerial now and the freebie versions offered by others - CentOS, Rocky, and Alma are all in flux.
So briefly ... what does AWS offer? And is that decision set in stone as Google is another 'large provider' that does offer virtual OS's in many flavors.
OS - Ubuntu is a good choice ... as it does have many distros's for providers ... there is one for AWS and one for Google as well.
Where you can, go for one that is 'long term support' (LTS).
Web service ... nginx is harder to configure ... but does offer a smaller foot print ...
some provider engineers might have already made that choice for you .. again .. read the fine print.
PHP kinda ditto.
DB - MySQL or MariaDB ... MySQL has their own repos - important for getting updates/upgrades. Moodle code itself could do either.
PHP vr plus extensions that's up to the base OS.
Can highly recommend using git for moodle versioning of code - install/updates/upgrading.
I'd discourage (if you see them) use of Bitnami and the like ... maybe even Docker.
Anyhoo ... there's some food for thought ... one size doesn't fit all!

Thank you for your response. Sorry for the confusion.
I hope according to your suggestion, ubuntu with LTS is a good choice . Isn't it? .
AWS is providing a POC server. So we should suggest the specs. we have 2 choices either Linux or ubuntu.
Thank you

A Ubuntu distro that is long term support (LTS) is a good choice. You'll find lots of moodle docs/tutorials with providers with that distro.
POC - proof of concept?
"So we should suggest the specs. we have 2 choices either Linux or ubuntu"
Am confused ... Ubuntu is a Linux distro. Specs ... you want someone here in forums to suggest specs? (like memory/space/CPU's etc)
