Secure cloud migrations have accelerated as our teams access critical workloads remotely
OpenVPN Community Edition - powered by TurnKey can be improved by looking forward to recommendations regarding compute sizing, which is necessary. I have seen multiple third-party solutions demanding configurations based on compute and memory aspects. However, what I have learned from OpenVPN Community Edition - powered by TurnKey is that it comes with minimal configuration, but I am always stringent about how many client VPN connections it can handle. There has to be some bifurcation regarding this. I have not experienced any access lag so far or any performance issues. I do not see any problems with the configurations or recommendations provided by OpenVPN Community Edition - powered by TurnKey for 100 or 200 users simultaneously, but I still foresee a need for some recommendations from OpenVPN Community Edition - powered by TurnKey regarding the number of user connections it can handle given certain configurations.

Server management headaches have disappeared and deployment of APIs is now fully automated
My advice to others looking into using Serverless is that you don't need to worry about the server maintenance, the servers, and where you host the servers. All these headaches go away. Definitely it's good to use. All the headaches that we have been doing for all these years can be gotten rid of, definitely. This has been a great initiative taken by AWS. Previously, we thought that we cannot host our applications without any server, but AWS proves us wrong by creating a Serverless application, the option to deploy our applications without any server. This is a really great initiative done by AWS. I rate this solution an eight out of ten.
