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.

Bank projects have gained strong security and reliable performance for critical applications
From my experience as a partner, the biggest advantage of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (redhat 9) | Support by SupportedImages is that it is a stable and reliable product. It is a reliable OS when I am using it for applications because we run middleware software upon the OS, which means if there are problems or security holes in the OS, my applications also face those issues. In that scenario, the stability and security of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (redhat 9) | Support by SupportedImages is commendable. The security policy of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (redhat 9) | Support by SupportedImages is improved, but security measures must still be implemented. After we install the operating system, the customer's bank security team will harden the OS to block any potential breaches or malicious activities. To measure performance with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (redhat 9) | Support by SupportedImages, I assess how much RAM and CPU the background processes are consuming. I can restrict these processes to ensure that minimal background processes run, allowing my application server software and applications to operate better with the available memory and CPU resources.

Cons

"There is room for improvement regarding response time and first-level support quality."
"Maybe for the virtual machine management, we utilize Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (redhat 9) | Support by SupportedImages because it is so powerful. We have a lower version of Red Hat for previous virtual machine management, and since we now have a new version, virtual machine management is more complicated."
