Preconfigured containers have cut licensing costs and now save our team time with faster booting
ECS-Optimized Windows can improve by giving us new generation instances rather than the old generation's AMD chips or other older technology. It should use the new generation instances, and it should also modernize the storage and the file systems that it is using because those are very old and sometimes problematic. It should also improve or add advanced configurations to the things that we are doing so it can help us and give us more efficiency and productivity in our team. It should give us good analysis, particularly more detailed analysis, with the AWS tools because it is operated by AWS. It is cloud-based, and we are getting it from AWS, so they should also integrate it with AWS better.

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

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"ECS-Optimized Windows has positively impacted my organization because I have been using it for proof of concepts and it increases the speed of running them because I do not have to worry about creating my own image."
"Our teams can scale at least 40% faster than before, accounting for waiting for it to boot and load everything."
"After deploying our Windows workloads using ECS-Optimized Windows on AWS, we saw improved reliability and measurable operational efficiencies."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 is a very good tool for DevOps because it is an established tool with strong CI/CD capabilities."
"That level of detail helps me a lot because I can understand the stage that is running and what is actually happening, literally, in that stage."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 has had a very positive impact on my organization. It gave us predictability and automation."
"Previously, a feature would take one month to reach from ideation to production deployment, but now we do that within a week."
"The best features Jenkins on CentOS 10 offers in my experience are the automation aspect and CI/CD, which I use a lot."
"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."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 gives back a lot of time, allowing me to work with my colleagues on other tasks and make better use of their abilities."
"We are able to do things that we normally cannot do in other pipelines, such as GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or GitLab CI itself."
 

Cons

"ECS-Optimized Windows can improve by giving us new generation instances rather than the old generation's AMD chips or other older technology."
"Improvements for ECS-Optimized Windows could include faster Windows patch cycles, a lighter AMI footprint for quicker boot times, better visibility into container-level performance metrics, and improved cost optimization guidance."
"One problem with ECS-Optimized Windows is that the image size is quite large."
"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."
"I believe Jenkins on CentOS 10 can be improved with enhancements such as the Docker image in the Docker container."
"For improvements to Jenkins on CentOS 10, I believe its plugins need to go through some reviews."
"We missed clearer documentation, both for Jenkins as code and for some environment configurations."
"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 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."
