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.

Has delivered expert training and enabled smooth migrations using automated deployment tools
SUSE Linux Enterprise is a mature and reliable platform, but there are areas where it can be improved. Modernizing the system management tools is important as many users appreciate YaST for its centralized management, but there is a growing demand for more modern, web-based, and modular tools. The introduction of tools such as Agama, a web-based installer, and Cockpit in newer releases is a step in the right direction.SUSE has made progress with multi-Linux support, allowing organizations to manage and support not just SUSE systems but also other distributions such as Red Hat and CentOS; continuing to expand these capabilities, especially for hybrid and multi-cloud environments, will help organizations manage diverse infrastructure more effectively. Security is a top concern, and further strengthening default security policies, simplifying compliance management, and integrating advanced vulnerability management tools would be a valuable improvement.
