Jagadeesh Sanuboina - PeerSpot reviewer
Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
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.

Automated infrastructure deployment has reduced our backend release time from days to hours
I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS. We encountered a problem where we needed to use the ID of the RDS in another document that we have, making it difficult to return this information using Upbound Crossplane deployment. I believe Upbound Crossplane could be improved by possibly having a feature that can return tags, IDs, or resources that were deployed inside AWS, such as needing to return the ID of the VPC that we create when using Upbound Crossplane. I think the current state of Upbound Crossplane is already good enough.

Cons

"However, Oracle Linux 7 is outdated, so I recommend users to use the latest version."
"I can face downtime with Oracle Linux 7 | Support by SupportedImages mainly during kernel patching and reboot activities."
"The scalability of Oracle Linux 7 | Support by SupportedImages can be improved with features from Oracle Linux 9."
"Customer support is very poor and not very good."
"Sometimes we do have some system performance issues."
"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."
"However, one area of improvement is the learning curve, as Upbound Crossplane concepts such as providers, compositions, and claims can be difficult for beginners."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane's capabilities, I feel the governance and security is something which is lacking."
"Upbound Crossplane was not stable in my experience."
"Upbound Crossplane can be improved if they can add more AI agentic workflows."

"Regarding Upbound Crossplane, I see room for enhancement in synchronizing the state file of Crossplane with Terraform, as 90% of organizations have generally implemented Terraform and have their own specific, environment-specific Terraform state files."
"One area where Upbound Crossplane can be improved is with API rate limiting."
