Cloud-based monitoring has unified my plants and now supports secure, cross-platform access
I would prefer if Ignition Cloud Edition would provide Python instead of Jython programming. It would be easier to do programming in Ignition Cloud Edition. Although Jython works, Python is much better to understand. I would love if Ignition Cloud Edition would provide one more functionality. Ignition Cloud Edition can already be configured with multiple SQL databases, which is good. Ignition Cloud Edition can also run scripts, which is very good. It supports Sparkplug B, which is again good. However, if it would provide the functionality of Python programming, other than Jython, because Jython is a little confusing to me compared to Python. Additionally, nowadays companies are switching to predictive maintenance. It would be better if Ignition Cloud Edition will provide some kind of API integration with AI models. The predictive maintenance process would be much easier to perform. If it would provide the functionality to do programming in Python and some kind of integration with a machine learning, deep learning model, or AI integration, a company could develop a predictive maintenance pipeline as well.

Proactive server management has reduced incidents and saves time through automated health checks
One improvement area I identified is reducing manual operational work, such as health checks, file system monitoring, log cleanup, and path validation. I rated Oracle Linux 7 | Support by SupportedImages 8 out of 10 because I need improvements in automation. I recommend several important improvements. I would suggest moving new builds to Oracle Linux 8 or 9 and avoiding creating new long-term workloads on Oracle Linux 7. I should keep Oracle Linux 7 mainly for existing legacy applications while migration is planned. Another improvement I recommend is modernizing Oracle Linux 7 image lifecycle by not creating new Oracle Linux 7 workloads. I would standardize hardened golden images, automate patching and vulnerability scanning, and migrate applications towards Oracle Linux 8 or 9. For existing Oracle Linux 7 systems, I should maintain an accurate inventory and ensure extended support updates are being applied. This improves security, reliability, governance, and reduces operational effort.
