Martin Mato - PeerSpot reviewer
Extensive support experience and seamless deployment enable efficient troubleshooting
Red Hat is definitely the reason why we go for Linux and why we choose it above Ubuntu. The idea is security and the inbuilt security features. We don't have separate security experts here, so we configure it ourselves. We choose those systems that already have a lot of security features. Red Hat SE Linux is something we appreciate. Regarding the most valuable features of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, flexibility is the biggest reason. The fact that I can easily manage kernel parameters is a testament to the flexibility of the operating system, and that is why we use it on virtually all our servers. There are two reasons why I always turn to either Amazon Linux or Ubuntu. My preference for Amazon Linux is because of its SE Linux implementations. My preference for Linux entirely is because of its customizable nature. It is flexible and I can change it to fit whatever my applications' needs are.

Seamless integration accelerates deployment and boosts efficiency
Using ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages provides better visibility into the issues. It helps me do my job better because I have logs. I have CloudWatch automatically, and it is all in a single page. I can do the first deployment and run another one. The integration of services such as ECS, CloudWatch, and logs is very important for my team's CI/CD pipeline. CloudWatch is very effective, helping us to see the logs better with all logs in one place. We do not use it to its full potential, but in the future, we will use more AWS products.
