How has it helped my organization?

I measure this productivity by the earlier build time with another OS, which was 32 minutes; with CentOS 9 (centos 9) | Support by SupportedImages, we are able to achieve the build time of around 14 to 16 minutes, down from an earlier 32 to 36 minutes.
I am using performance metrics to evaluate the impact on computing, and basically, where we were using the VPS server for all these things, when we migrated to CentOS 9 (centos 9) | Support by SupportedImages and containerization, we have observed nearly a 22%, or 20 to 25% drop in tickets.
What is most valuable?
The biggest advantage of CentOS 9 (centos 9) | Support by SupportedImages is the additional security layer which it can provide and the configuration with an additional security layer.
