Modern infrastructure has supported cloud migrations and improved secure distributed workloads
Among the downsides of CentOS 9 | Support by SupportedImages, I find that while installation becomes easier, the migration process concerning mainframes has been well-represented, especially with CentOS 9 | Support by SupportedImages 10 now integrating AI capabilities. The inclusion of GPUs and other resources to process large datasets could be a future direction worth pursuing, enhancing its abilities with RAG or generative AI through proper prompt engineering and ethics considerations. I would prefer to see more AI integrations within CentOS 9 | Support by SupportedImages. IBM is already making strides in this area by investing significantly. Following their acquisition and merger with Red Hat, CentOS 9 | Support by SupportedImages distribution aligns closely with Red Hat's, fostering AI capabilities and a futuristic approach to enhance daily operations through flexible application building on virtual machines.

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.

Pros

"CentOS 9 (centos 9) | Support by SupportedImages helps with my application deployment process in general, and I get more productivity with it.I measure this productivity by the earlier build time with another OS, which was 32 minutes; with CentOS 9 (centos 9) | Support by SupportedImages, we are able to achieve the build time of around 14 to 16 minutes, down from an earlier 32 to 36 minutes."
"The low cost, low maintenance, support, and latency features of CentOS 9 | Support by SupportedImages are what I appreciate the most about it."
"CentOS 9 (centos 9) | Support by SupportedImages is stable as far as I am concerned. It is 100% stable."
"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."
"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."
"The time required to complete an environment setup was reduced from about one or two weeks to forty to fifty minutes."
"We went from having a 28-member troubleshooting team down to four to five members of the platform engineering team."
"Upbound Crossplane has impacted our organization positively as it has been a transformative experience because the main thing about transformation is how we were able to make our lives easier as engineers."
"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."
 

Cons

"The support system is not very much up to the mark as we have with Ubuntu, and definitely, with respect to CentOS 9 (centos 9) | Support by SupportedImages, the help or support forum needs to be more comprehensive so that for many issues we need not reinvent the wheel."
"I experienced some lagging or crashing when I migrated to CentOS 9 | Support by SupportedImages 8; this event occurred during the early stage of that version."
"Upbound Crossplane was not stable in my experience."
"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."
"However, one area of improvement is the learning curve, as Upbound Crossplane concepts such as providers, compositions, and claims can be difficult for beginners."
"One area where Upbound Crossplane can be improved is with API rate limiting."
"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."
"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."
"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."
