PROS

Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu reduces configuration time, saving hundreds or thousands of dollars.
It improves CI/CD pipelines and speeds up deployment processes.
Its AI capabilities emphasize governance and security.
It integrates easily with various tools and supports scripts for efficient configuration.
It increases deployment frequency and offers easy retry options on failures.

CONS

There is a maintenance overhead since the customer is responsible for patching both Jenkins on Hardened Ubuntu and the OS, and although security issues are somewhat handled, third-party plugins may still be insecure, and hardened images can be too restrictive.
Sometimes Jenkins is down when performing multiple deployments at the same time, which is a major issue.
Initially, there are issues with plugins that might be incompatible during setup.
Role control, particularly with RBAC permissions, has been an issue for a long time.
Improvements are needed, including keeping the OS fully patched with the latest security updates, minimizing installed packages, and removing unused services.

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.

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.
