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.

Centralized workspaces have improved team productivity but still need more automation and analytics
I rate WorkSpaces Manager seven out of ten because I reduced points for improvements that need to be addressed. Regarding WorkSpaces Manager's security capabilities, I believe centralized access management and role-based permissions help organizations control access to workspaces and resources. Audit logs, regular access reviews, and strong authentication further strengthen security. Regarding WorkSpaces Manager's reliability, the tool provides reliable workspace and access information when configuration and underlying data are up-to-date. Consistent synchronization, error handling, and monitoring can improve reliability. WorkSpaces Manager is deployed in my organization as a cloud-based solution, though the product supports cloud-based, on-premises, or integrated deployment models with existing enterprise applications. My advice to others considering WorkSpaces Manager is to carefully review all documentation before proceeding, use training for developers before implementing, learn about the product thoroughly, review the documentation, and compare multiple products before making a decision.
