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.

Automated infrastructure deployment has reduced our backend release time from days to hours
I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS. We encountered a problem where we needed to use the ID of the RDS in another document that we have, making it difficult to return this information using Upbound Crossplane deployment. I believe Upbound Crossplane could be improved by possibly having a feature that can return tags, IDs, or resources that were deployed inside AWS, such as needing to return the ID of the VPC that we create when using Upbound Crossplane. I think the current state of Upbound Crossplane is already good enough.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Deployments are at least eighty to ninety percent faster using Jenkins on CentOS 10 compared to scripting your way and developing your own tools, so the time saved is enormous as well as all the cost that comes with it, which otherwise equals additional cost in engineering time spent."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 is a very good tool for DevOps because it is an established tool with strong CI/CD capabilities."
"The Pipeline as Code aspect I mentioned is the most useful feature for us."
"The multi-branch pipeline has helped my team manage jobs and deployments more easily."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 has had a positive impact on my organization by making delivery routines easier, avoiding errors and rework."
"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."
"We are able to do things that we normally cannot do in other pipelines, such as GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or GitLab CI itself."
"Before choosing Upbound Crossplane, I evaluated various options, but I only found Upbound Crossplane to be the best choice."
"We went from having a 28-member troubleshooting team down to four to five members of the platform engineering team."
"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to reduce our deployment time from three days to three hours for the entire back-end and entire infrastructure."
"This CD-type integration has facilitated my operations by unifying the way of working so that I can use the same guardrails for both deployments, which makes the way I deploy much simpler."
"Upbound Crossplane has impacted our organization positively as it has been a transformative experience because the main thing about transformation is how we were able to make our lives easier as engineers."
"Upbound Crossplane has positively impacted our organization by reducing the pipeline time, saving time, and decreasing cost spending."
"The best features Upbound Crossplane offers are infrastructure as Kubernetes APIs and self-service infrastructure, where developers can provision resources without cloud credentials, and its strong multi-cloud support that makes it useful in managing AWS, Azure, and GCP from a single control plane with valuable GitOps integration."
"The time required to complete an environment setup was reduced from about one or two weeks to forty to fifty minutes."
 

Cons

"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."
"Jenkins on CentOS 10 is somewhat dated when compared to other pipelines."
"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."
"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 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 think the overall performance of Jenkins on CentOS 10 could be improved because it ends up consuming a bit more memory."
"Stability in Jenkins on CentOS 10 could be enhanced."
"I think the process of installing Jenkins on CentOS 10 in an environment could be improved in many cases."
"Upbound Crossplane was not stable in my experience."
"However, one area of improvement is the learning curve, as Upbound Crossplane concepts such as providers, compositions, and claims can be difficult for beginners."
"I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS."
"Upbound Crossplane can be improved if they can add more AI agentic workflows."
"One area where Upbound Crossplane can be improved is with API rate limiting."
"The documentation needs to be updated regarding the needed improvements for Upbound Crossplane. There is very little documentation online, and there are no tutorials for Upbound Crossplane."
"In terms of how Upbound Crossplane could improve, the generation of providers that are not already covered via Terraform is acceptable, but it could be more user-friendly for people who may not have knowledge of how those custom providers are structured."
"Regarding Upbound Crossplane, I see room for enhancement in synchronizing the state file of Crossplane with Terraform, as 90% of organizations have generally implemented Terraform and have their own specific, environment-specific Terraform state files."
