Featured Reviews

Aaron Prashanth - PeerSpot reviewer
DevOps Engineer at Siemens Industry
Consistent releases have improved collaboration while configuration procedures still need simplification
What stands out for me in Chef SaaS is that the procedure is straightforward and the release goes smoothly because we can create different versions according to our own requirements. Chef SaaS helps with collaboration between our development and operations team. A benefit I can see is that configuring is easier because developers commit new code and new versions, and using Chef SaaS, we can create different cookbooks. Cookbooks contain different recipes, and different cookbooks represent different versions. Using these versions, we can consolidate and create a new package that will help us with the release. Since this is a product-based company and our product is wind turbines, every time we have a product release or patch release, Chef SaaS helps us tremendously. We release different patch cycles such as LTS patch cycles, Windows patches, or any kind of patch feature and built features. To maintain the cycle, the process is quite smooth.

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.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Chef SaaS is stable and we have never faced any issues with it, as it is quite reliable and, since it is mature and established, it is capable enough to manage large infrastructures."
"Chef SaaS has positively impacted my organization by saving more time; we do not need to control Chef control node and we can apply the required changes for VMs quickly, which is a big advantage for our organization."
"The pipeline functionality in Jenkins on CentOS 10 is valuable because it provides a comprehensive view of the entire build and deployment process, and it allows us to automate and monitor every step efficiently."
"The Pipeline as Code aspect I mentioned is the most useful feature for us."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 significantly helps my team."
"Previously, a feature would take one month to reach from ideation to production deployment, but now we do that within a week."
"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."
"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."
"The multi-branch pipeline has helped my team manage jobs and deployments more easily."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 is a very good tool for DevOps because it is an established tool with strong CI/CD capabilities."
 

Cons

"An area of improvement is that if you compare Chef SaaS to Ansible, Ansible is much faster and the process is easier and faster, but Chef SaaS is more complicated."
"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 think the overall performance of Jenkins on CentOS 10 could be improved because it ends up consuming a bit more memory."
"I think Jenkins on CentOS 10 could be improved with more known features and plugins because we have a lot of plugins in my organization that I do not completely understand, and we face numerous alerts and security notifications that I do not really have knowledge of."
"I believe Jenkins on CentOS 10 can be improved by allowing some customizations in the dashboard in a more immediate way."
"I think the process of installing Jenkins on CentOS 10 in an environment could be improved in many cases."
"The difference from what I have presented is that they are easier to deal with regarding AI. GitHub Actions is already integrated with Copilot itself; if there is a build error, it explains in detail where it was and why it happened, and it asks if you want it to make the change. Azure is the same thing. I don't feel that in Jenkins on CentOS 10."
"I believe Jenkins on CentOS 10 can be improved with enhancements such as the Docker image in the Docker container."
"I give Jenkins on CentOS 10 a score of 8 because I see that some plugins are maintained by the community and are not actually supported by Jenkins."
