Automation has streamlined server setup and has ensured consistent configurations
One of the best features Ansible on CentOS 10 offers is agentless automation. I particularly appreciate playbooks, which is one of my favorite features, along with configuration management and reusable roles. Agentless automation and playbooks stand out for me because they enable me to manage remote servers over SSH without requiring an Ansible agent on each machine. Playbooks use simple YAML files to automate tasks such as installing packages, configuring JINX, and managing services seamlessly. The error handling and reporting in Ansible on CentOS 10 help identify failed tasks and troubleshoot deployment issues more easily. Ansible on CentOS 10 has strong security capabilities for infrastructure automation, including SSH-based access, privilege escalation controls, and Ansible Vault for encrypting sensitive data, which I believe is excellent for AI-assisted automation. Ansible on CentOS 10 integrates well with AWS services, particularly EC2 for server provisioning and configuration.

Cloud-based monitoring has unified my plants and now supports secure, cross-platform access
I would prefer if Ignition Cloud Edition would provide Python instead of Jython programming. It would be easier to do programming in Ignition Cloud Edition. Although Jython works, Python is much better to understand. I would love if Ignition Cloud Edition would provide one more functionality. Ignition Cloud Edition can already be configured with multiple SQL databases, which is good. Ignition Cloud Edition can also run scripts, which is very good. It supports Sparkplug B, which is again good. However, if it would provide the functionality of Python programming, other than Jython, because Jython is a little confusing to me compared to Python. Additionally, nowadays companies are switching to predictive maintenance. It would be better if Ignition Cloud Edition will provide some kind of API integration with AI models. The predictive maintenance process would be much easier to perform. If it would provide the functionality to do programming in Python and some kind of integration with a machine learning, deep learning model, or AI integration, a company could develop a predictive maintenance pipeline as well.
