Whenever I deploy solutions on Amazon Linux, I almost never have to worry about the operating system.
Amazon Linux offers enhanced uptime by applying critical security patches without reboots, reducing downtime and breach risks. It supports scalability, security, and reliability, vital for operational efficiency. AWS-native features and predictable updates cut workload by 30%, delivering substantial ROI by eliminating OS licensing costs. However, limitations exist, including EC2-only support, insufficient documentation, software compilation needs, and concerns about repository vulnerabilities and weaker support compared to other distributions.
