The main use case for Amazon Linux is hosting websites.

This is for overall company operations.

The best features with Amazon Linux include the integration with AWS and other services.

It is an operating system that AWS manages, and I feel I can trust it regarding the updates without interfering with or interrupting services.

The performance of Amazon Linux with AWS services is perfectly fine. I use it and change the instance type to give it more resources at times, and for the sandbox, I give it less, and it satisfies what we want.

Amazon Linux reduces the time it would take for setup or deployment because I rely on the documentation for AWS since it's streamlined, and the commands I need to run are easily accessible whenever I need to look up anything.

We've used the application load balancers with Amazon Linux, and that's the main one I can think of regarding advanced networking capabilities.

That feature has definitely helped us enhance the scalability and reliability of our cloud applications by easing administration, as the application load balancer is managed by AWS and ties in with Amazon Certificate Manager, ensuring I do not have to concern myself with scalability and any updates.

The main positive impact of Amazon Linux on my company has been no interruptions of services.

The public website is up and running, which allows us to monetize with virtually no staff hours for downtime or service interruptions.

I cannot say honestly how these features have contributed to my system security and package management processes.

I try to keep the services and what I use on Amazon Linux very limited to support overall configurations.

I would love it if Amazon could provide fleet management of their operating system for updates and configuration, as that's an area I would need more attention to.

I have dealt with the Amazon Linux product for 10 years.

I would rate customer service or technical support from Amazon a 10.

Positive

I switched to Amazon Linux primarily because I was running my operating systems within AWS, knowing that Amazon would support it and all the documentation was up-to-date.

We were using CentOS before switching to Amazon Linux.

Mainly, we used CentOS, which was managed by Red Hat or IBM. Once they changed their upgrade path, it became unviable, so we went with Amazon Linux, which made the most sense in AWS.

My experience with the pricing, setup costs, and licensing of Amazon Linux is straightforward and simple.

I have seen a return on investment with Amazon Linux.

I have experience with RDS with AWS.

I have experience with Amazon Linux and other Amazon products.

I have mentioned relevant data points about ease of use and the trust that Amazon provides, as I don't have to concern myself with other Linux distributions.

I realized those benefits during the actual deployment.

On a scale of 1-10, I rate Amazon Linux a 10.
