DevOps Engineer at a consultancy with 11-50 employees
Hardened, fast-launching base image that streamlined our Kubernetes node deployments
More published documentation around the exact CIS controls applied and how to layer additional Kubernetes-specific hardening, such as kubelet and CIS Kubernetes benchmark, on top would be helpful. A minimal or slim variant tuned specifically for container hosts and clearer release notes per version would also be welcome. Out-of-the-box monitoring and observability integration could be expanded.

The features I appreciate most in GE Proficy Smart Factory MES are the ability to create trends when I troubleshoot during my daily work. I can also edit the program in GE Proficy Smart Factory MES, and before I download it to the PLC, I can test it first to ensure my program is working correctly. GE Proficy Smart Factory MES has been very useful in my daily work because it is user-friendly. I can also go online and change the IP address easily, which is simpler compared to other solutions. Troubleshooting with GE Proficy Smart Factory MES is easier than other options.
