CloudBees Updates Jenkins and Offers New DevSecOps Platform

By ADMIN Team

CloudBees CI offers the biggest changes to Jenkins in more than a decade.

CloudBees has announced major performance and scalability enhancements to its widely used Jenkins CI/CD software, as well as a new DevSecOps solution based on Tekton.

The updates are part of the CloudBees CI enterprise version of Jenkins and include features such as workspace caching, pipeline explorer, and high-availability mode, which aim “to reduce build times, speed up troubleshooting, enhance controller efficiency, and maximize uptime,” the announcement says.

The new cloud-native DevSecOps platform “uses a GitHub Actions style domain-specific language (DSL) and adds feature flagging, security, compliance, pipeline orchestration, analytics and value stream management (VSM) into a fully-managed single-tenant SaaS, multi-tenant SaaS, or on-premise virtual private cloud instance,” according to the announcement.

Additionally, the platform puts the focus on the emerging role of platform engineering, which “brings together multiple roles such as site reliability engineers (SREs), DevOps engineers, security teams, product managers, and operations teams.”
