Secure platform has supported large-scale banking services and provides reliable long-term use
CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers updates sometimes take a very long time. If the CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers team makes improvements, you should first take feedback from clients, users, and the community. There are many different kinds of people, so you must ask for feedback. From my perspective, sometimes hosting has delays. We can use the underlying OS control panel. However, a direct login will take some time. If you log in to that machine, it takes too much time. You can improve this area. Web server and hosting infrastructures should be worked on. Some organizational people, if working on that, can improve this area. A popular hosting stack is important because everyone needs to log in easily to any web server. Another area for improvement is enterprise middleware or banking systems, which are mostly what I am working on. IBM MQ tools are also used as a middleware platform. They can also easily connect. Work on the connect tool is needed. Suppose you have to connect CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers SSH to secure shell command, connect to the terminal, and then use it. Secure shell command improvements would be beneficial. You can use enterprise middleware and banking systems if work is done on that. Additionally, you should work on database and file storage nodes. These are areas, from my perspective, that require improvements. Suppose you run any AWS, GCP, Azure, or virtual VM. You need to update some configurations. I have one more idea. Server and hosting CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers, node centralization, worker nodes suppose you have to use Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes. Make sure to work on that.

Automated infrastructure deployment has reduced our backend release time from days to hours
I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS. We encountered a problem where we needed to use the ID of the RDS in another document that we have, making it difficult to return this information using Upbound Crossplane deployment. I believe Upbound Crossplane could be improved by possibly having a feature that can return tags, IDs, or resources that were deployed inside AWS, such as needing to return the ID of the VPC that we create when using Upbound Crossplane. I think the current state of Upbound Crossplane is already good enough.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers has positively impacted my organization by not being buggy and being very fast compared with another distribution, so efficiency is the priority."
"In my day-to-day work, I rely most on the stability of resource availability with CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers, as it smoothly handles traffic increases with its containerized version and manages our clustered system reliably, keeping resource utilization under control."
"Having pre-hardened images with STIG compliance and SELinux policies built-in means every AWS EC2 instance I launch is secure right away."
"CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers has positively impacted our organization by saving us a lot of cost, as CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers is open source and free, so it saves us considerable expenses especially since you do not need to spend any money using an open-source operating system."
"CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers is one of the best operating systems in the current market."
"The flexibility allows me to configure the server based on workload requirements and integration with AWS services such as EC2, CloudWatch, and security controls."
"We have the mixture of both the modernity and the stability of an operating system, which is not the case for other Linux distros."
"We have achieved at least 30 percent cost savings annually, and the metrics show that processes for configuring high availability clusters are much easier to manage, and we are satisfied with the performance of these services."
"This CD-type integration has facilitated my operations by unifying the way of working so that I can use the same guardrails for both deployments, which makes the way I deploy much simpler."
"We went from having a 28-member troubleshooting team down to four to five members of the platform engineering team."
"The best features Upbound Crossplane offers are infrastructure as Kubernetes APIs and self-service infrastructure, where developers can provision resources without cloud credentials, and its strong multi-cloud support that makes it useful in managing AWS, Azure, and GCP from a single control plane with valuable GitOps integration."
"Before choosing Upbound Crossplane, I evaluated various options, but I only found Upbound Crossplane to be the best choice."
"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by reducing the pipeline time, saving time, and decreasing cost spending."
"Upbound Crossplane impacts my organization positively because, from our perspective, we need to rely on fewer resources."
"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to reduce our deployment time from three days to three hours for the entire back-end and entire infrastructure."
"When I provisioned PostgreSQL and S3 buckets through Crossplane, I noticed improvements in deployment speed, reliability, and team collaboration."
 

Cons

"Even though CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers is good, the only thing it needs is predictable repositories for mission-critical updates."
"I recommend providing constructive and solution-oriented feedback for CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers, with focus on improving adoption, technical support from ProComputers, documentation, automation, and issue resolution."
"What keeps it from being a perfect 10 is simply the need for expanded documentation and official automation templates for ARM64 and AWS Graviton instances."
"While overall my product support experience has been solid, I believe it could be improved by expanding the pre-packaged module ecosystem, specifically with more out-of-the-box support for containerization like Docker, Podman, or pre-configured Kubernetes base nodes related to CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers."
"CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers could be improved by providing clearer documentation for AWS deployment, more detailed troubleshooting guides, and faster response times to technical support requests."
"CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers updates sometimes take a very long time."
"Customer support for CentOS 10 (CentOS 10) with support by ProComputers primarily comes from community support, which is adequate but not premium."
"Most tasks require manual installation, and if that could be improved, it would be beneficial."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane, I see room for enhancement in synchronizing the state file of Crossplane with Terraform, as 90% of organizations have generally implemented Terraform and have their own specific, environment-specific Terraform state files."
"I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane's capabilities, I feel the governance and security is something which is lacking."
"One area where Upbound Crossplane can be improved is with API rate limiting."
"However, one area of improvement is the learning curve, as Upbound Crossplane concepts such as providers, compositions, and claims can be difficult for beginners."
"In terms of how Upbound Crossplane could improve, the generation of providers that are not already covered via Terraform is acceptable, but it could be more user-friendly for people who may not have knowledge of how those custom providers are structured."
"The documentation needs to be updated regarding the needed improvements for Upbound Crossplane. There is very little documentation online, and there are no tutorials for Upbound Crossplane."
"This was the only thing that we took as a disadvantage at the time of implementing, since we did not have any way to see what the Upbound Crossplane composition or what the Upbound Crossplane resource will do to the actual infrastructure."
