Streamlined container deployments have reduced manual setup and now accelerate our delivery
ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages can be improved in several ways. We can have better documentation such as step-by-step guides for cluster setup, scaling integration, and troubleshooting playbooks. There are some areas where monitoring setup is mostly manual, which could benefit from pre-installed and pre-configured CloudWatch agent and container insights. Additionally, AMI updates require manual tracking and rollout. AWS sends notifications for new AMI releases, but if that could be automated by AWS, it would help a lot. Regarding needed improvements for ECS-Optimized Amazon Linux Support by SupportedImages, it is still fine regarding security and support, with not much that needs to be improved. However, limited visibility into what patches are included in each AMI release could improve detailed security information such as patch timelines and severity levels. Faster patch delivery would also help with turnaround for critical vulnerabilities and zero-day patches. With security hardening, improvements could include kernel settings and file integrity monitoring.

Provides BTRFS file system, which allows you to take snapshots
I only use the tool for testing purposes on my team, but multiple people use it. We don't make a team effort to install the solution. When it comes to maintenance, we ask our company to buy SUSE Linux Enterprise. My team consists of 13 people. We are currently integrating the solution with Ansible to do some coding. Although not a full-fledged automation, we are integrating the solution with Ansible and executing a couple of playbooks connected to openSUSE Leap. I would recommend the solution to other users looking for an open-source solution. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
