CloudBees Revolutionizes DevOps with Advanced CI CD Solutions

CloudBees is a game-changer in the DevOps world, offering advanced CI/CD solutions that streamline software development and deployment. Its flagship product, CloudBees Core, provides a unified platform for automating and optimizing the entire software delivery process.

CloudBees Core is built on top of Jenkins, the industry-leading open-source CI/CD tool, and offers a range of features that make it an attractive choice for organizations looking to improve their DevOps practices. With CloudBees Core, developers can automate their build, test, and deployment workflows, and ensure that their software is delivered quickly and reliably.

By leveraging CloudBees Core, organizations can reduce their software delivery times by up to 90%, and increase their deployment frequency to multiple times a day. This is because CloudBees Core provides a highly scalable and secure platform for automating and optimizing the entire software delivery process.

CloudBees has made significant strides in the DevOps and CI/CD space, with a range of acquisitions and product developments that have enhanced its offerings.

One notable acquisition is CloudBees ReleaseIQ, which brought SaaS platform functionality and enhanced support for third-party DevOps tools. This move has helped CloudBees refocus its efforts and provide a more comprehensive DevOps platform.

CloudBees has also been working on its CI/CD pipeline and SaaS support, with a renewed focus on IT compliance automation. This is evident in its acquisition of CloudBees Compliance, which will be folded into its new DevSecOps platform.

The new DevSecOps platform will be built on event-driven pipeline automation open source project Tekton and will include a domain-specific language (DSL) akin to GitHub Actions' scripting tools. This will enable engineers and app developers to share and customize their workflows.

CloudBees is also emphasizing the importance of security in its DevSecOps platform, with a focus on centralizing and tokenizing secrets data outside delivery pipelines for added security.

Here are some key features of the new CloudBees DevSecOps platform:

Upgrading to CloudBees CI Version 2.462.2.2 can be a complex process, and one thing to be aware of is the change in the Jenkins API.

The queueId, which used to be stored as an integer, now becomes a large number after the upgrade.

This large number can exceed the integer size and cause an error, as one user experienced.

Research has shown that this is related to HA (High Availability) being enabled along with the upgraded version.

It's essential to understand this change to avoid any issues with your CloudBees setup.
