Micro-segmentation has delivered deep flow visibility and simplified firewall rule management
Although mapping is currently fine, Akamai Segmentation [Private Offer Only] can improve by providing a more useful and visually appealing graphical user interface for mapping. While we can automate rules through API calls, this is not entirely possible with the same API. Navigation between different sources and generations of APIs can make it time-consuming to achieve cartography. While labeling is beneficial, there is still room for user experience improvements. The improvements are not solely due to the Akamai project; they also stem from issues related to CMDB and the information systems of our company, where sometimes the information is inconsistent, causing Akamai to be unable to automate labeling if that information is not consistently provided.

Automation has streamlined server setup and has ensured consistent configurations
One of the best features Ansible on CentOS 10 offers is agentless automation. I particularly appreciate playbooks, which is one of my favorite features, along with configuration management and reusable roles. Agentless automation and playbooks stand out for me because they enable me to manage remote servers over SSH without requiring an Ansible agent on each machine. Playbooks use simple YAML files to automate tasks such as installing packages, configuring JINX, and managing services seamlessly. The error handling and reporting in Ansible on CentOS 10 help identify failed tasks and troubleshoot deployment issues more easily. Ansible on CentOS 10 has strong security capabilities for infrastructure automation, including SSH-based access, privilege escalation controls, and Ansible Vault for encrypting sensitive data, which I believe is excellent for AI-assisted automation. Ansible on CentOS 10 integrates well with AWS services, particularly EC2 for server provisioning and configuration.
