Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Linux

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.
  • 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
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.
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.
