A well balance OS with features and cost effectiveness
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
we have infrastructure of multiple applications within our environment of production and testing environment we are using Amazon Linux for deploying multiple application script, running batch jobs and doing multiple automation on Amazon Linux instances over AWS cloud environment. Amazon Music is very friendly and reliable to me because it comes with Amazon cloud support and it is easy to work with it and have easy communication for troubleshooting with support
Pros
- 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
Cons
- 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.
Likelihood to Recommend
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
