Automation has streamlined server setup and has ensured consistent configurations
One of the best features Ansible on CentOS 10 offers is agentless automation. I particularly appreciate playbooks, which is one of my favorite features, along with configuration management and reusable roles. Agentless automation and playbooks stand out for me because they enable me to manage remote servers over SSH without requiring an Ansible agent on each machine. Playbooks use simple YAML files to automate tasks such as installing packages, configuring JINX, and managing services seamlessly. The error handling and reporting in Ansible on CentOS 10 help identify failed tasks and troubleshoot deployment issues more easily. Ansible on CentOS 10 has strong security capabilities for infrastructure automation, including SSH-based access, privilege escalation controls, and Ansible Vault for encrypting sensitive data, which I believe is excellent for AI-assisted automation. Ansible on CentOS 10 integrates well with AWS services, particularly EC2 for server provisioning and configuration.

Automation has accelerated deployments and standardizes pipelines while reducing operational errors
To improve Jenkins on CentOS 10, there are some challenges we ran into, especially when we first started using it. We missed clearer documentation, both for Jenkins as code and for some environment configurations. As a result, a lot of configurations were learned manually through tests with the team. We also missed more stable plugin updates. We had many problems with incompatibility between plugin versions in Jenkins on CentOS 10. What makes those situations challenging is that we had problems starting and restarting the Jenkins on CentOS 10 application when we needed to reuse plugins from the previous version. Once we updated some plugins to the required version, others became incompatible with the current version. It became a cycle where we had to update Jenkins on CentOS 10, the versions of the plugins we used, and the versions of the plugins they depended on, which made configuration and startup quite difficult in some cases.

Pros

"Agentless automation and playbooks stand out for me because they enable me to manage remote servers over SSH without requiring an Ansible agent on each machine."
"The agentless approach makes things simpler because we do not have to install anything or maintain anything or troubleshoot any agents on every CentOS server."
"The self-sufficient built-in modules are extremely beneficial."
"After implementing Ansible on CentOS 10, we are able to standardize and simplify many operational processes, particularly in improving security."
"Ansible on CentOS 10 has made that process significantly easier and has completely replaced those previous methods."
"The agentless feature of Ansible on CentOS 10 has helped my team save time and avoid specific issues compared to other tools that require agents."
"Ansible on CentOS 10 has positively impacted my organization by reducing the time to production significantly compared to other automation agents like Chef or Puppet, where an agent is involved and other elements like groups and roles are required."
"The main feature of Ansible on CentOS 10 is idempotency when using the Ansible built-in modules, which is excellent."
"The plugin I consider indispensable, which has greatly facilitated integration with other systems, is the Atlassian plugin, which is exactly the plugin for where we have our source code repository."
"We are able to do things that we normally cannot do in other pipelines, such as GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or GitLab CI itself."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 has had a very positive impact on my organization. It gave us predictability and automation."
"With Shared Libraries, I do not need that. I can have one controller and call it in other pipelines as well. I declare it in Jenkins, indicate the repo where it is, and any pipeline that wants to use it just needs to call that method, because when you start the build, it already loads into memory what you need to use. That is really cool."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 is the main orchestrator that currently helps us ensure, in an automated way, the quality of the product we are delivering."
"My advice to other people who are thinking about using Jenkins on CentOS 10 is that they can use it. It is a very secure tool that speeds up processes and links other tools in a very secure and easy way."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 has had a positive impact on my organization by improving speed, as the team can roll things out without having to watch manually."
"The multi-branch pipeline has helped my team manage jobs and deployments more easily."
 

Cons

"I have experienced stability issues."
"One of the main areas that Ansible on CentOS 10 could improve is providing clearer error messages, faster execution across larger environments, and simpler debugging for complex playbooks."
"Although Ansible on CentOS 10 is a very robust tool, there are still things I would like to see improved."
"Ansible on CentOS 10 can be improved by focusing on enhancing automation, efficiencies, and security for better infrastructure management."
"In my opinion, Ansible on CentOS 10 could be improved in the simulation part."
"Regarding how Ansible on CentOS 10 can be improved, I think further integration with other tools would be beneficial."
"Community support needs some improvements since not all of the data is available."
"I gave Ansible on CentOS 10 a rating of seven because I would like to see improvements and latest features incorporated."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 is somewhat dated when compared to other pipelines."
"In my experience with pricing, setup costs, and licensing, I found Jenkins on CentOS 10 expensive. The configuration is very burdensome, and that requirement is bad."
"I would also suggest additional improvements to Jenkins on CentOS 10, including a better user interface, simpler plugin management, and stronger integration with cloud-native technologies."
"The plugins in Jenkins on CentOS 10, while really great because of the huge ecosystem, can also be a pain point because you never know how long they will be maintained, and there's a slight instability there; if you depend on some plugin that does an integration with some product and the plugin is not maintained anymore, you're blocked from using the product features that would integrate through the plugin, and it doesn't have high availability natively."
"Jenkins also has a simple scheme that is good but risky: you can copy the /var/lib/jenkins folder, which stores all the service data, and move it to a new server."
"I believe Jenkins on CentOS 10 can be improved by allowing some customizations in the dashboard in a more immediate way."
"Regarding how Jenkins on CentOS 10 can be improved, it is not specific to CentOS 10, but Jenkins is a bit resource-intensive. It consumes significant system resources, especially if there are large codebases running or large projects running, and running it on a server does cost money."
"I believe Jenkins on CentOS 10 can be improved with enhancements such as the Docker image in the Docker container."
