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.

Secure platform has supported large-scale banking services and provides reliable long-term use
CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers updates sometimes take a very long time. If the CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers team makes improvements, you should first take feedback from clients, users, and the community. There are many different kinds of people, so you must ask for feedback. From my perspective, sometimes hosting has delays. We can use the underlying OS control panel. However, a direct login will take some time. If you log in to that machine, it takes too much time. You can improve this area. Web server and hosting infrastructures should be worked on. Some organizational people, if working on that, can improve this area. A popular hosting stack is important because everyone needs to log in easily to any web server. Another area for improvement is enterprise middleware or banking systems, which are mostly what I am working on. IBM MQ tools are also used as a middleware platform. They can also easily connect. Work on the connect tool is needed. Suppose you have to connect CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers SSH to secure shell command, connect to the terminal, and then use it. Secure shell command improvements would be beneficial. You can use enterprise middleware and banking systems if work is done on that. Additionally, you should work on database and file storage nodes. These are areas, from my perspective, that require improvements. Suppose you run any AWS, GCP, Azure, or virtual VM. You need to update some configurations. I have one more idea. Server and hosting CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers, node centralization, worker nodes suppose you have to use Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes. Make sure to work on that.

"Customer support for CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers primarily comes from community support, which is adequate but not premium."
