I have experience with the product. AWS Lambda functions and the S3 bucket are the Amazon products I deal with mostly.
Rich ecosystem has supported AI development and secure migrations but still needs clearer examples
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
I am generally satisfied with Amazon Linux; I appreciate the EC2 instances as well.
The ecosystem of software packages in Amazon Linux has helped us keep up to date with the artificial intelligence trend, where people are using ChatGPT to code, and they are also using Amazon Developer Q to program applications much faster, and then also to meet requirements with the Google Play Store and Apple Store.
The rich documentation of Amazon Linux is beneficial for my migration processes; it is very helpful.
Amazon Linux's security updates have been helpful in general because I have had to be more specific in using the Identity Access Management (IAM) service so that we can have role-based permissions in preference to just keeping it open.
What needs improvement?
Amazon Linux can be improved by having the documentation contain more examples of use cases.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Amazon Linux for at least five years.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup was very friendly for me; it was very friendly on Mac. I did not have any severe challenges installing or updating.
What other advice do I have?
I do not use the optimized kernel in Amazon Linux.
I tried a little bit with Alexa services, but considering, it has been a while since I updated the integrated AWS CLI feature in Amazon Linux.
I find the pricing friendly because it is per hour; I use the pay-as-you-go option so that if the application does not have a lot of users, it is cheap. However, when there are many users, the users then pay for the expenses of the application.
There is a need for features including integration with other marketplaces; when you build, launch once, and deploy everywhere, it would be easy to just deploy once if there was that integration. That would be a nice feature to have.
I would recommend Amazon Linux to others. I give this review a rating of 7.
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
