Seamless integration accelerates deployment and boosts efficiency
Using ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages provides better visibility into the issues. It helps me do my job better because I have logs. I have CloudWatch automatically, and it is all in a single page. I can do the first deployment and run another one. The integration of services such as ECS, CloudWatch, and logs is very important for my team's CI/CD pipeline. CloudWatch is very effective, helping us to see the logs better with all logs in one place. We do not use it to its full potential, but in the future, we will use more AWS products.

Has supported seamless migrations and enabled running complex data workloads securely
The best features Rocky Linux offers include clustering and all the packages from Red Hat.Rocky Linux has impacted my organization very positively because we migrated everything from CentOS and Windows servers to Rocky Linux. Everything is clear, with good packaging, and now it's version 9.6, which is very important for us due to security problems since we are in Europe. Rocky Linux is very good for security and other aspects. Since migrating to Rocky Linux, I've seen specific outcomes such as improved security because CentOS stopped the project, and security patches aren't being released. We need to maintain a system similar to Red Hat, which is very stable and has many features such as file system, topology, and containers.
