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.

AI-driven workflows have transformed our end-to-end development and collaboration processes
The built-in CI/CD integration in GitLab [Private Offer Only] is lacking. We are still depending on other packages. If GitLab [Private Offer Only] had some CI/CD integration internally, it would be beneficial. Because for CI/CD integration now, we are currently doing it with the direct server side. I think it is not that much integrated with the current scenarios of AI, that is AI agent-based or assistant-based coding patterns. Some more improvement is required in GitLab [Private Offer Only] for CI/CD integration along with AI platforms. AI integration is basically what we need, especially on the CI/CD side of GitLab [Private Offer Only]. The code assistant, such as a cloud code assistant, is making things with GitLab [Private Offer Only], but it is conventional. They are pulling the code and sending the thing. I think they can do some more integration, seamless integration with GitLab [Private Offer Only]. AI is consuming GitLab [Private Offer Only] with the older style. If AI were fully pluggable in GitLab [Private Offer Only], it would be beneficial. I think we could get some more time reduction, especially on the testing side and the code testing side.
