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.

Granular data protection and detailed user web activity reporting have strengthened compliance
Maybe next year, we are looking for a user behavior analytics setup. We have budgeted for a user behavior analytics tool. We are looking for that. We are working with Azure mainly. AWS is in our roadmap. Forcepoint [Private Offer Only] cloud, we are using it. We have an agent that will connect. If I am connecting inside, it will connect to our in-house proxy, and if we are connecting outside, it will connect to the outside proxy, which is the cloud proxy. Our proxy appliance is in AWS, though I'm not entirely sure. I would rate my overall experience an 8.5.
