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 cost insights have enabled proactive right sizing and predictable infrastructure spend
Infracost is actually a very good product; however, the improvement part could be on the pricing side because the non-free plans are a bit expensive and don't necessarily offset the savings. Feature-wise, I don't have a lot of complaints about this product; it's quite amazing with a good concept. I do think that with AI catching up, tools such as ChatGPT or Codex will be able to do what Infracost does, so they need to come up with something to differentiate their product. I choose that assessment because of the pricing part; if the pricing was much better, since the starter pack is $250 a month, I'm not sure we are always able to save that much every month, making it an expense instead of a saving. The only improvements needed for Infracost are on the pricing part.
