Containerization has streamlined testing workflows and reduces server resources for our builds
The best features that Docker on Ubuntu offers in my experience are ease of usability and performance. Ease of usability and performance with Docker on Ubuntu have helped me because Ubuntu is a Debian-based OS that can operate in both server and desktop modes, so when using Docker on Ubuntu on a server base, I need to install a few packages to convert the machine to GUI mode, making Docker on Ubuntu easy to use. While I think security is not a standout feature, ease of usability and performance remain the main highlights for me since it's only environment-specific and involves local testing along with monitoring only internal servers. Docker on Ubuntu has positively impacted my organization through resource savings, as for our NOC server, we are using a dedicated 30-core server with 256 GB of RAM, but with the help of Docker on Ubuntu, we can run multiple containers on the same server. In terms of resource savings, we reduced the number of servers from around 100 to 70 after using Docker on Ubuntu within our private cloud, where we have numerous servers located in multiple locations in the US.

Role-based automation has streamlined secure CI pipelines and supports data-driven delivery decisions
Any product that I create, I will have an improvement expectation for Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu. The one expectation that I have is that the UI can be still improved. Some more metrics can be established. Nowadays, there are a lot of configurations. I should be able to really connect with AI as another feature that can also be integrated. These are the three or four items that can be added to the improvement toward Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu.Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu could include AI chat features in the future to make it even better. When there is a build happening or when there is a job happening, I could ask in the chat how long that takes or what is the current job running. These AI features can be included.

Pros

"In terms of resource savings, we reduced the number of servers from around 100 to 70 after using Docker on Ubuntu within our private cloud, where we have numerous servers located in multiple locations in the US."
"Docker on Ubuntu stands out in terms of user-friendliness; it provides easy porting for applications of any size, allowing me to host it anywhere and avail the services."
"The overall main point of Docker on Ubuntu is the ability to have just what you need to run your application instead of having a complete server with all the libraries and security configurations."
"In my experience, the best features Docker on Ubuntu offers are that it's quick, stable, and easy to use."
"Docker on Ubuntu is an open-source solution that we are managing by ourselves, which is why I feel it is a faster solution and provides high reliability."
"Docker on Ubuntu has positively impacted my organization by making our CI/CD pipeline faster because of the multi-stage build, multi-arch build, and the strategy of layering."
"Docker streamlines things and makes it easier for testing and development."
"Using Docker on Ubuntu helps us save time and operational efforts rather than directly reducing headcount; it saved setup time by seventy percent, reduced VMs and infrastructure cost by thirty to forty percent, and improved team productivity without needing additional engineers."
"Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu has positively impacted my organization by increasing deployment times, with the number of deployments increasing from around twenty a day to more than double that, and it was easier to retry on failure because if anything failed within the automated pipelines, it was easy to retry."
"We have set up a very critical infrastructure with both Jenkins and the Ubuntu hardening steps without any need for specific challenges."
"I have definitely noticed a reduction in incidents and time saved since switching to Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu, which saves at least between ten to twenty hours in configuration time, translating to potential savings of hundreds or even thousands of dollars."
"Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu has positively impacted my organization because it works fast and has helped us improve our CI/CD pipelines."
"Regarding Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu's AI capabilities, I find its governance and security to be quite secure."

"Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu is valuable for us from a continuous deployment perspective."
"Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu has positively impacted my organization by showing a lot of improvement; it reduces our time and increases our development process, and it helps a lot everywhere."
 

Cons

"Regarding areas for improvement in Docker on Ubuntu, I am using the open version only, not the commercial version of Docker on Ubuntu. Most occasions, certain libraries do not support this version as I miss that out."
"The scalability of Docker on Ubuntu requires Kubernetes."
"Docker on Ubuntu can be improved due to hidden security concerns, as Docker runs as root by default and needs hardening through rootless user mode and privilege limiting."
"Docker on Ubuntu can be improved because it can get quite tricky, and the learning curve is quite steep, especially for beginners who are new to the concept of containerization."
"We made a connection switch and are having technical problems."
"Docker on Ubuntu can be improved because the initial learning curve could be smoother for new users."
"I do not recommend it for freshers."
"The compatibility of Docker on Ubuntu images sometimes needs to match the updates received from Ubuntu, as some of the updates received from Ubuntu are not suitable for these Docker on Ubuntu images."
"Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu can have some enhancements; the UI can be more attractive, as it is just a normal layout right now, so we can have some kind of tiles and devise some separate area to choose that particular pipeline itself related to configuration and the pipeline, but apart from that, functionality-wise, it is good, though sometimes Jenkins is down when we are doing multiple deployments at the same time, which is one major issue."
"There is a maintenance overhead to using Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu since the customer is responsible for patching both Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu and the OS, and although security issues are somewhat handled, Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu third-party plugins may still be insecure, and hardened images can be too restrictive."
"I have not seen a return on investment with Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu."
"I wish it had a more friendly user interface."
"One area Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu could improve is role control, particularly with RBAC permissions, as this has been an issue for a long time."
"Initially, I faced some issues with plugins that might be incompatible while setting up Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu."
"Currently, Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu is almost obsolete."
