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.

Comprehensive log monitoring has improved proactive incident response and cost control
The best features Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only] offers include the Ingest Processor, which allows me to filter out or stop data ingestion from the data source to reduce ingestion and storage licensing costs. I am currently exploring this good feature. Regarding my experience with the Ingest Processor, I have a consumer whose application forwards data into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. Unfortunately, when there is a restart, old duplicate data is also ingested alongside the current data. For example, the last 24 hours' data amounts to 15 to 20 GB, and when the application restarts, an additional 15 to 20 GB of duplicate data ingests. Consequently, instead of the expected 15 to 20 GB, I am looking at almost 30 to 40 GB of ingestion cost. By using the Ingest Processor, I can effectively stop the duplicate data ingestion into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only] has positively impacted my organization in many ways. For instance, if something goes wrong with an application I monitor, without Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only], notifications are unavailable, and support staff would not be notified, which saves time. I also have proactive alerts and predictive analysis, saving costs by preventing the ingestion of duplicate data into Splunk Cloud [Private Offer Only]. From a security standpoint, I have audit-related features to address issues or malicious attacks. Utilizing predictions and AI functions aids me in multiple areas of operations.
