Streamlined container deployments have reduced manual setup and now accelerate our delivery
ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages can be improved in several ways. We can have better documentation such as step-by-step guides for cluster setup, scaling integration, and troubleshooting playbooks. There are some areas where monitoring setup is mostly manual, which could benefit from pre-installed and pre-configured CloudWatch agent and container insights. Additionally, AMI updates require manual tracking and rollout. AWS sends notifications for new AMI releases, but if that could be automated by AWS, it would help a lot. Regarding needed improvements for ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages, it is still fine regarding security and support, with not much that needs to be improved. However, limited visibility into what patches are included in each AMI release could improve detailed security information such as patch timelines and severity levels. Faster patch delivery would also help with turnaround for critical vulnerabilities and zero-day patches. With security hardening, improvements could include kernel settings and file integrity monitoring.

Performance Testing And A PM Expert at ADM
Performance tests have been streamlined for analysis while query tuning still needs improvement
The technical support or community support for MariaDB on CentOS is bad. There is a main problem with all the companies that sell this kind of tool and services. The first level of support is the first one you reach. When you begin to have a more difficult problem, there is no one available because sometimes you need to update the call and recall on it. This is not good because when we have some big problem on the database, we need to have a database administrator, not a person who reads instructions on the screen. It is always the same problem. My rating is two.
