Overall Satisfaction with CentOS Linux

We need to Deploy a lot of different applications in a daily basis. We still running our servers locally since for our business cloud is not the best solution. So we have a lot of server running virtualization software and inside we deploy a big amount of CentOS Linux virtual machines to run a lot of applications, front-end, back-end, and scripts in different languages, Java, react, python, etc. CentOS Linux can run any of those without problem and the minimal install is just perfect since does not take a lot of space.

Pros

  • Minimal install
  • Run forever
  • Easy configuration
  • Run all different applications
  • Easy to install

Cons

  • Create minimal install for most used applications
  • Improve virtualization support
  • Create minimal install for docker deployment
  • Free version, cost free
  • A lot of information available for support
  • Any linux engineer can solve CentOS Linux problems.
It is a very typical server software, so you will have just the console. But it is still very easy to use, you can do anything from there and you have te built in manuals to review any information. For the other hand, if you need a graphical environment is not an issue, you can install any environment you what, Gnome, xfce, etc.
The first reason for going CentOS Linux it's because is free, you there's no cost since we deploy a lot of machines in a daily basis. It is a very stable software, we are sure the OS will not crash or restart, so our software can run without issue. The support and documentation for CentOS Linux it's very easy to find.
