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.

Modern desktop delivery has become smoother and integration with current clients works reliably
In Switzerland, my clients, particularly in the banking sector, are cautious about moving data to the cloud due to legal concerns about US access. Therefore, some companies prefer keeping their data on premises to avoid compromising security.Currently, I primarily work on-premises, operating exclusively within shared hardware data centers and not utilizing cloud services such as Azure or AWS. We have experimented with Azure for some testing installations, but the overall costs associated with cloud services raise concerns. While we employ cloud solutions for backup, our infrastructure remains on-premises. For the product itself, Windows Server 2025 (Windows Server 2025) | Support by SupportedImages earns a solid rating of seven or eight from me because it is user-friendly to work with. My main frustration lies in the mandatory updates and newly introduced security features that complicate third-party software operations.
