Preconfigured containers have cut licensing costs and now save our team time with faster booting
ECS-Optimized Windows can improve by giving us new generation instances rather than the old generation's AMD chips or other older technology. It should use the new generation instances, and it should also modernize the storage and the file systems that it is using because those are very old and sometimes problematic. It should also improve or add advanced configurations to the things that we are doing so it can help us and give us more efficiency and productivity in our team. It should give us good analysis, particularly more detailed analysis, with the AWS tools because it is operated by AWS. It is cloud-based, and we are getting it from AWS, so they should also integrate it with AWS better.

I believe Windows Server 2022 (Windows Server 2022) | Support by SupportedImages can still be improved; it is not perfect yet. I think there should be a lesser number of patches, as every time the system is patched, the vulnerabilities that I scan always show some vulnerabilities. The product should be hardened from the beginning itself. Nothing else comes to mind now regarding disadvantages, but perhaps it requires more brainstorming. So far, I think it is all good with no additional features or integrations needed in Windows Server 2022 (Windows Server 2022) | Support by SupportedImages. Security must be enhanced, for sure.
