Provides good observability and helps create different pods and clusters
D2iQ gives us a better way to log in to the Kubernetes clusters, container, and cluster APIs. We have good observability on the system. We are able to manage and maintain it. We have an integrated CI pipeline that manages and deploys well. When we have problems, it's not on the Kubernetes side. The problem is more on the CI pipeline side. Having support helps when we run through issues. The control environment so far has been good. The solution is managed and maintained well, and control access is provided well. The solution's customer base is in millions. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Good compatibility and improvement needed in migration process
For long-term support, it has been good because in most enterprise environments, people still use Ubuntu Linux sixteen, which is quite obsolete now. Other enterprise versions do not support obsolete systems, so supportability is good in terms of Ubuntu Linux. For sustainability, it's quite a significant point of view for every organization. For us, Ubuntu Linux is the preferable way. For others, it might not be, so that is quite a subjective matter itself. The pinpoint of the problem is that they take time because they need specific information. We need to go to AWS first, and then they'll contact the Ubuntu Linux support team itself. This creates a two-way hop for us, which is why it's not that great. It's not really Ubuntu Linux's problem but rather the way we are accessing Ubuntu Linux. The migration part when migrating an application or one version of Ubuntu Linux to another is quite hectic. During the process, one or many applications might crash. That is something they could handle themselves, but I don't think that's something Ubuntu Linux will look into. During a migration project that I was handling, Ubuntu Linux was not completely compatible for the migration process from one application to another. This is an area they could improve in migrating from minor versions to major versions.
