I switched to a different organization where I am using AWS. We are dealing with EKS and ECS. I work with API Gateways, Amazon Linux, Lambda functions, and S3 storage buckets, among other services. Currently, I am building my own product, which is deployed in AWS services using ECS.
My primary use case for Amazon Linux is hosting production-grade applications and microservices running on EC2, EKS, and container-based architectures such as Docker and Kubernetes. Amazon Linux provides continuous security and maintenance updates, including rapid vulnerability patches, which helps keep workloads secure with minimal manual effort. Its security hardening features and minimal footprint reduce the attack surface, offering better protection against common threats. In my previous organization, almost all our servers ran on Amazon Linux, and I worked with it extensively for about five years. In my current role, we continue to use Amazon Linux primarily for cloud migration projects and for running microservices that require a lightweight, AWS-optimized Linux environment. In my current role at Quantum Integrators, I am involved in migrating SAP workloads and other applications from a private cloud to AWS, and Amazon Linux has been a core part of this process due to its consistent performance, seamless integration with AWS services, and minimal configuration effort during migration.

With AWS, I work with products involving networking, migration, and other services. Currently, I work in an industry where I use Amazon Linux for various use cases.
I work with Kubernetes tools. My job is L3 support and I troubleshoot Red Hat-based systems and Kubernetes. Those are my two areas and that is all I do. When a client's system breaks down, it is my job to fix it as much as possible. In the last 12 months, I have been troubleshooting systems and training in Kubernetes. 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. I just duplicate installations of my clients' machines in order to troubleshoot. The idea is that I am presented with a problem, a broken system. If I can clone it, I do and then I try to fix it locally on my own machine before I present the solution back to the client. It varies slightly, depending on what the clients are using it for. In my very last case, about 2 or 3 weeks ago, there were etcd clusters running on an Ubuntu machine managing a Patroni installation. I tried to set that up on my own systems and started troubleshooting from there.

My use case for Amazon Linux is mostly for running containers. I am using SELinux for enhanced security in Amazon Linux, and it is helpful for me.
