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.

I hope Insights Hub can support a UMS idea and solution in the future. If we have a UMS hub or data center, Insights Hub could integrate with our database, allowing us to share one data center regardless of whether it is our MES system, SCADA system, or Insights Hub, which would be more efficient for a global company. Insights Hub could connect to our UMS data center, which would eliminate the need to rebuild a connection between the shop floor and Insights Hub. Additionally, Insights Hub could support MES functions, allowing us to integrate with the production line and transfer the ERP order from the ERP to our shop floor, thus helping the ERP be more efficient. This would include performing a buy-off from the shop floor to the ERP and adjusting the production plan for the ERP production order for greater efficiency in our production planning. I hope we can achieve MES functions in an IoT solution such as Insights Hub. One point I am not so satisfied with regarding Insights Hub is the gateway, which I believe runs on a Linux or Unix OS but does not display well for our end-users. This requires us to ask for help and support from our IT department as we cannot perform what we can do with a Windows device, such as RDP to the gateway and monitor any issues inside. Sometimes we do not know the issue exactly and have to check the log, which is very complex for the end-user.
