I deploy applications atop it. I mostly use it as a server for various DevOps concerns. For example, I have a Kubernetes server running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Ansible server running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It is a DevOps pipeline that is fed by these separate servers. We always enable Amazon Linux. We don't switch it off and we do not put it in permissive mode. Where there are issues regarding permissions that Amazon Linux has enforced, we fix them and make it work. SE Linux is enforced on our machines. I have configured failover for clients using blue-green deployments, where we have identical servers running. That is how we implemented manual failover. They have identical systems running and when one stops working, for any reason, while we are fixing it, these clients remain live. Whenever I deploy solutions on Amazon Linux, I almost never have to worry about the operating system. Whenever I have problems, it is from the application itself. I have honestly never had any problems with Amazon Linux, aside from disk space issues. But no problems with the operating system itself. I work as a Linux Administrator, specifically in Linux Support. I rate Amazon Linux a 9 out of 10.
