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.

Performance tests have been streamlined for analysis while query tuning still needs improvement
The technical support or community support for MariaDB on CentOS is bad. There is a main problem with all the companies that sell this kind of tool and services. The first level of support is the first one you reach. When you begin to have a more difficult problem, there is no one available because sometimes you need to update the call and recall on it. This is not good because when we have some big problem on the database, we need to have a database administrator, not a person who reads instructions on the screen. It is always the same problem. My rating is two.

"Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu is an open-source tool that has many plugins to support all applications, and this stands out as its main advantage."
"Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu has positively impacted my organization because it works fast and has helped us improve our CI/CD pipelines."
"We have set up a very critical infrastructure with both Jenkins and the Ubuntu hardening steps without any need for specific challenges."
"MariaDB on CentOS has positively impacted my organization by providing more features compared to Oracle MySQL, particularly in terms of performance, advantages, and implemented features, leading to migrations from Oracle MySQL to MariaDB on CentOS."
"MariaDB on CentOS is almost identical to MySQL, and the experience is very similar."
"With 10 years of experience with the product, I think the biggest advantage is that it is easier to maintain than Oracle."

Cons

"Initially, I faced some issues with plugins that might be incompatible while setting up Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu."
"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."
"I have not seen a return on investment with Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu."
"Currently, Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu is almost obsolete."
"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."
"I wish it had a more friendly user interface."
"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."
"MariaDB on CentOS has older versions than the latest upstream releases, so package versions can be older, and that's something that should be improved."
"One of the things that is not ideal is that the version which is default is sometimes older than the very latest."
"To improve MariaDB on CentOS, I believe it needs materialized views, as stored procedures in MariaDB are not as good as those in Postgres or Oracle."
"I think MariaDB on CentOS needs improvements in some memory-level implementations within the operating system, as I have noticed issues related to memory orientation, such as out-of-memory problems."
"Many functionalities are not available in MariaDB on CentOS, so those aspects needed to be rewritten, particularly Oracle proprietary features."
"The AI capabilities are good, and the guardrails are also to the point, but there is still room for improvement in the AI part."
"You can always improve a product, and the area that is very sensitive in MariaDB on CentOS is the release and the backward compatibility."
"The technical support or community support for MariaDB on CentOS is bad."
