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.

Hosting python learning apps has become smooth and supports secure, low‑maintenance deployment
The best feature Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) (ARM) | Support by SupportedImages offers is stability, which stands out to me the most. Stability is the main thing that stands out for me. Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) (ARM) | Support by SupportedImages has positively impacted my organization. Earlier, when we were working in a startup, we deployed almost all the applications on Ubuntu 20 (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) (ARM) | Support by SupportedImages because it was stable. We mostly used Linux to host any application because it is easy to manage, and Linux is made for application deployment rather than Windows, making it much easier to deploy and manage all the deployed applications. It is user-friendly if somebody is into DevOps. Right now, I do not have any metrics to share, but as I said earlier, it gives very good stability and performance.
