Offers clear structure and reliable transactions but needs improvement in handling scalability
Asynchronous replication will help in managing data distribution and seeing benefits, but I'm not certain as I have not worked with such tasks in PostgreSQL on Ubuntu. I've resolved similar things in non-SQL databases such as MongoDB, but I haven't attempted those functionalities in PostgreSQL on Ubuntu due to their complexity.
Massimiliano Adamo - PeerSpot reviewer
Has supported seamless migrations and enabled running complex data workloads securely
The best features Rocky Linux offers include clustering and all the packages from Red Hat.Rocky Linux has impacted my organization very positively because we migrated everything from CentOS and Windows servers to Rocky Linux. Everything is clear, with good packaging, and now it's version 9.6, which is very important for us due to security problems since we are in Europe. Rocky Linux is very good for security and other aspects. Since migrating to Rocky Linux, I've seen specific outcomes such as improved security because CentOS stopped the project, and security patches aren't being released. We need to maintain a system similar to Red Hat, which is very stable and has many features such as file system, topology, and containers.
