Secure pipelines have reduced incidents and save significant setup and configuration time
One of the best features Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu offers is that it saves time because rather than trying to have a vanilla OS, such as Ubuntu on an EC2 instance, and then trying to secure it yourself, Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu is already secured with a ton of insecure features disabled on the VM, which saves us time and is quite cost-effective. The IAM integration has helped my team because it is quicker to set up and more secure since using AWS IAM roles is natively secure, where long-term credentials can be insecure, but by using already configured IAM roles, it is much more secure. Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu has positively impacted my organization because it is more secure to use rather than us trying to use a vanilla OS, lowering the attack surface of common OS-related vulnerabilities.

Good for creating POCs, training machine learning models, and experimenting without local resources
The project I’m currently working on relies on CUDA, but my local PC does not have any Nvidia GPUs. I’ve found the computational resources and ease of use provided by Saturn Cloud invaluable. Also, there are many ready-to-use Docker images and a rich documentation portal with useful examples. The dashboard for creating a new virtual environment contains almost all the features I needed: environment variable definitions, git repositories cloning directly from the new resources page, and an edit field to define a custom script during the boot process. For this reason, Saturn Cloud.io is a very good solution for creating POCs, training machine learning models, and generally experimenting a bit without worrying about local resources.

Pros

"The benefits of Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu include its easy integration with every tool; it can be used as both an integration tool and a deployment tool, and with the help of scripts, we can easily configure Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu in an effective way."
"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."
"They provide a centralized space for data, code, and results."
"There is plenty of computational resources (both GPU, CPU and disk space)."
"Saturn Cloud supports GPU as part of the environment, which is essential for many computational tasks in machine learning projects. It also allows us to edit the environment, including the image, before we start the cloud resources. This feature lets us quickly set up the environment without the hassle of moving the data and code to another cloud device."
"It offered an excellent development environment while not touching our production cloud resources."
"It didn't take long to see that Saturn Cloud could scale with my needs, providing more resources when required."
"The feature I like the most about Saturn Cloud is that it has lightning-fast CPUs."
 

Cons

"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."
"It would be nice to have more hardware category options, like TPU coprocessors or ARM64 CPUs."
"We'd like to have the capability for installing more libraries."
"Saturn Cloud should include prebuilt images for advanced data science packages like LightGBM in the next release. If possible, they should also provide a Kaggle image, which contains the most common Python packages used in machine learning."
"Public Clouds integration and sandbox environments would be a true game changer."
"My main suggestion for improvement centers on pricing. Introducing a tier modelled after AWS spot instances would be a game-changer."
"Providing more detailed and beginner-friendly documentation, especially for advanced features, could greatly enhance the user experience."
