Amazon Linux vs. Oracle Solaris

we were having one scenario in which we have to install one application bundle to 7000 machines with Amazon Linux and it’s coming pre-installed with Amazon agent where we have installed and deployed the software very easily with system manager to the Amazon Linux. sometimes what it happens with SSM manager do not response and it goes off-line on Amazon Linux os frequently

It's good for environments that need to operate 24/7 due to its stability, as I mentioned before. It's also very good for enterprise applications that can't afford unscheduled downtime, for truly high-priority environments. I don't think it would be recommended for small companies with people who have no prior knowledge of the tool, as the learning curve is quite steep.

• Security and kernel update
• Repository management with Amazon Linux repo
• Easy and convenient usage for beginners as well as professional guys.
• Pre-installed with Amazon command line interface to interact with multiple services of AWS

• Preferred Operating System to run Oracle Databases
• Performs well with Java and Oracle applications
• Great for Virtualizations.

• There should be a graphical user interface because there is only command line interface available for this os
• File transfer problem with other operating systems
• Needs tools which should be pre-installed for network connectivity, checking like telnet etc.

• It seems that Solaris is becoming an afterthought at Oracle.
• Oracle should be more vocal in their commitment to Solaris
• Support Costs

I have not found much issues with Amazon Linux when it comes to Compare operating systems as we can use basically everything on this Amazon machines and comes with rubber support AWS documentation on how to work with the Amazon Linux machine very minimal downtime or impact to operating system when it comes to crashing or rebooting due to some issues.

You need to take the time to learn it. It is a massive product.

The support teams are well trained and responsive. Patches are rolled out regularly and are easy to deploy and backout.

Stress testing and timing is key. You need test systems that mirror the live environments. User testing must be reflected in peak loads.

Amazon Linux is very well suited when it comes to a very light operating system with all the features, high-performance in hardware congestion and good support from the Amazon. Others do have a support and good working features, but at lakhs a little bit when it compared with Amazon Linux in terms of performance and usage of the os.

We used Windows Server quite a bit because of the ease of use for the team, file sharing, Active Directory, and systems integrated with Windows; learning was easier, and the interface was more user-friendly. On the other hand, Oracle stood out for its stability because we provide services that keep environments up and running 24/7.

• Return of investment is much better than other operating system as we get robust Support along with OS license
• When we compare cost of Amazon Linux with other Linux operating system, then we founded, it was much cheaper and efficient in performance as well as costing for Amazon machines
• Software updates, deployment and tasks are very well handled with any hardware specifications, whether it is on very high higher specification or when it comes to low with huge workload

Incentivized

• Possibility to migrate old servers protecting previous inversions
• reduces implementation times and accelerates time to obtain value in the market.
