Sayed Basha - PeerSpot reviewer
IT platform engineer at Infosys via consign Space Solutions pvt ltd
Reliable cloud workloads have run cost-effectively and now support microservices and databases
One frustration I encounter is that Amazon Linux 2 AMI (amazon linux 2) | Support by SupportedImages does not support running on-premises. If it had features available for on-premises operations, it would greatly benefit organizations like the banking projects I have worked with, where data security is crucial and many critical applications still run on-premises. If Amazon Linux 2 AMI (amazon linux 2) | Support by SupportedImages offered this support, it would provide great competition with Red Hat Linux in the market. Regarding needed improvements, I believe Amazon could enhance its documentation, particularly for older versions. I sometimes face issues when installing the CloudWatch agent to gather OS-level metrics due to inadequate documentation. I believe I have covered everything regarding improvements, and I think the points I mentioned are sufficient.
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.
