Kevin Baclet - PeerSpot reviewer
System engineer at Alliance4u
Automated deployments have saved days and create hardened, SELinux-compliant environments
The best features offered by AlmaLinux 8 (Alma Linux 8) | Support by SupportedImages are the ability to use Kickstart files, which allows the installation of the operating system and applications to be done automatically, making deployment and customization for clients easier. This deployment automation has helped me concretely in my projects by saving time and improving efficiency. Before using AlmaLinux 8 (Alma Linux 8) | Support by SupportedImages, we used another operating system and had to deploy the operating system and then return to the machine to install each of our applications and verify that everything worked properly. With the Kickstart file and everything related to hardening and SELinux, the process is much faster and more efficient.
Alen Cherian - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Digital ASIC design engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Created complex video pipelines and now design reusable IP-based FPGA projects efficiently
The best features of AMD Vivado Design Suite is that it is a mature tool with a very good GUI. The most fascinating feature is its block design feature, which allows me to add and drop various IPs from AMD Vivado Design Suite's IP catalog and create a block design for my video designs. That is the one feature that I find very interesting. It is also very easy to source control AMD Vivado Design Suite projects using Git. The IP catalog is another valuable feature, and it is a very good tool that I install on all of my employees' project devices.
