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.

Regarding how RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved, I believe there are some points that could be enhanced, such as reducing the complexity and cost of licensing. The subscription model and socket counting can be complex and have a high cost for expanding smaller development environments. The learning curve could also be simplified: although security is impeccable, solving SELinux troubleshooting issues in advanced scenarios requires a considerable amount of diagnostic time for those who are just starting out. Documentation and the unified migration interface could be improved as well. The process of transitioning between major versions, such as from RedHat 8 to 9, has evolved a lot with Leapp, but it could still have tools such as simpler visual wizards and less dependency on manual scripts and customized scenarios. For me, the main improvement points in RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers are mainly the cost of the subscription model, which can be high when scaling new environments, and the complexity of configuring SELinux, which requires more time for the team to analyze errors when advanced blocks occur. I believe that RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers, to be a 10, would need to address what I mentioned in the previous answer. That would be broader documentation in the sense of providing tools with more visual and simple assistance, with less dependence on scripts, and reducing cost complexity. Some subscription and socket counting models can have a high cost for expansions of smaller development environments. I believe I have mentioned all the improvement suggestions I think are viable.

Cons

"I suggest improving Oracle Linux 7 | Support by SupportedImages by implementing faster support response time, especially for critical production incidents, and providing clearer lifecycle guidance and better communication about security updates, support timelines, and migration recommendations."
"I can face downtime with Oracle Linux 7 | Support by SupportedImages mainly during kernel patching and reboot activities."
"However, Oracle Linux 7 is outdated, so I recommend users to use the latest version."
"Sometimes we do have some system performance issues."
"Customer support is very poor and not very good."
"The scalability of Oracle Linux 7 | Support by SupportedImages can be improved with features from Oracle Linux 9."
"Regarding how RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved, I believe there are some points that could be enhanced, such as reducing the complexity and cost of licensing."
"To improve RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers, one suggestion is to address complexities in updating security patches in critical or isolated environments lacking connectivity with the remote repository or the internet, as this complicates some updates and necessary checks."
"A negative point, often, when speaking of Brazil, is that the support seems a bit distant from our reality."
"It would be very presumptuous of me to speak badly of a product that is clearly being improved, but of course, more agility, a lower SLA response time, and a more user-friendly interface for the client are always better."
"The only challenge that we have with RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers is migrations."
"I believe RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers could be improved mainly in ease of management."
"I have not been making effective use of AI. I still intend to reach that level, but I believe it must be secure."
"I believe that one of the main points for improving the environment with RedHat 9 with support by ProComputers is increased access and training, as even though there is well-structured documentation on RedHat’s website, access for new professionals to Linux platforms and all the products RedHat provides remains very restricted, limiting it to people with extensive experience with Linux systems and RedHat itself."
