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 secure application hosting and reliable server management
I find the GUI to be good in Ubuntu Linux, and I appreciate the open SSH. The fact that it is free since it is open and open-source is why I appreciate it and feel it is secured. We have multiple different kinds of support related to Ubuntu Linux, including official support and other options. I am currently using laptops, desktops, and servers, and Ubuntu Linux supports all these devices. If I need it for Raspberry Pi or something similar, I can download another Linux distribution. Ubuntu Linux is scalable, especially for servers. We prefer using Ubuntu Linux Servers rather than Windows. The biggest advantage of Ubuntu Linux for me is that it is open-source, secured, and scalable.
