Consistent releases have improved collaboration while configuration procedures still need simplification
What stands out for me in Chef SaaS is that the procedure is straightforward and the release goes smoothly because we can create different versions according to our own requirements. Chef SaaS helps with collaboration between our development and operations team. A benefit I can see is that configuring is easier because developers commit new code and new versions, and using Chef SaaS, we can create different cookbooks. Cookbooks contain different recipes, and different cookbooks represent different versions. Using these versions, we can consolidate and create a new package that will help us with the release. Since this is a product-based company and our product is wind turbines, every time we have a product release or patch release, Chef SaaS helps us tremendously. We release different patch cycles such as LTS patch cycles, Windows patches, or any kind of patch feature and built features. To maintain the cycle, the process is quite smooth.

Achieved nonstop medical imaging access and secure patient data while automating daily operations
Regarding how RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved, I believe there are some points that could be enhanced, such as reducing the complexity and cost of licensing. The subscription model and socket counting can be complex and have a high cost for expanding smaller development environments. The learning curve could also be simplified: although security is impeccable, solving SELinux troubleshooting issues in advanced scenarios requires a considerable amount of diagnostic time for those who are just starting out. Documentation and the unified migration interface could be improved as well. The process of transitioning between major versions, such as from RedHat 8 to 9, has evolved a lot with Leapp, but it could still have tools such as simpler visual wizards and less dependency on manual scripts and customized scenarios. For me, the main improvement points in RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers are mainly the cost of the subscription model, which can be high when scaling new environments, and the complexity of configuring SELinux, which requires more time for the team to analyze errors when advanced blocks occur. I believe that RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers, to be a 10, would need to address what I mentioned in the previous answer. That would be broader documentation in the sense of providing tools with more visual and simple assistance, with less dependence on scripts, and reducing cost complexity. Some subscription and socket counting models can have a high cost for expansions of smaller development environments. I believe I have mentioned all the improvement suggestions I think are viable.

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

Pros

"Chef SaaS is stable and we have never faced any issues with it, as it is quite reliable and, since it is mature and established, it is capable enough to manage large infrastructures."
"Chef SaaS has positively impacted my organization by saving more time; we do not need to control Chef control node and we can apply the required changes for VMs quickly, which is a big advantage for our organization."
"This productivity gain shows up in the team's daily work in the ready-made images and in the automation with Terraform and Pulumi."
"For example, I can apply a build in production, within our working language, and know that I can reproduce it in any scenario within RedHat."
"Security tools such as SELinux and OpenSCAP help identify vulnerabilities and maintain environment compliance, which reduces manual work, minimizes the risk of failures, and improves the availability of corporate services."
"RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers has positively impacted our organization, as it makes the work more fluid because all the Red Hat services work much better on their OS and make administration easier."
"Performance stands out in my environment because it doesn't need a lot of CPU and memory to deliver good performance."
"If they need something robust, scalable, extremely secure, with excellent support and a range of infrastructure possibilities, it is without a doubt one of the best products on the market."
"I appreciate the accuracy and reliability of the output from the AI capabilities of RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers because it was my first experience with EA of ProComputers, and I enjoy it a lot."
"Kubernetes and OpenShift are features of RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers that help with modern architecture, improve scalability, and simplify the DevOps process."
 

Cons

"An area of improvement is that if you compare Chef SaaS to Ansible, Ansible is much faster and the process is easier and faster, but Chef SaaS is more complicated."
"I believe RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved mainly in ease of management."
"I have not been making effective use of AI. I still intend to reach that level, but I believe it must be secure."
"I believe that one of the main points for improving the environment with RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers is increased access and training, as even though there is well-structured documentation on RedHat’s website, access for new professionals to Linux platforms and all the products RedHat provides remains very restricted, limiting it to people with extensive experience with Linux systems and RedHat itself."
"A negative point, often, when speaking of Brazil, is that the support seems a bit distant from our reality."
"Regarding how RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved, I believe there are some points that could be enhanced, such as reducing the complexity and cost of licensing."
"To improve RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers, one suggestion is to address complexities in updating security patches in critical or isolated environments lacking connectivity with the remote repository or the internet, as this complicates some updates and necessary checks."
"I think RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved as a system."
"It would be very presumptuous of me to speak badly of a product that is clearly being improved, but of course, more agility, a lower SLA response time, and a more user-friendly interface for the client are always better."
