Cloud Native DevSecOps Platform is finally here!

CloudBees recently announced our new cloud-native DevSecOps platform. What does this mean for you?

  • CloudBees Actions, a GitHub Actions-like DSL which is container-based.

  • Minimizing cognitive load and making DevOps processes nearly invisible, using concepts of blocks, automations and golden paths.

  • Open and extensible: Embraces the DevOps ecosystem of tools, starting with Jenkins

No more hassling with instability, technical complexity, and a ‘forced’ toolset. Choose the best tool for the job, easily plug it in, turn it into a GH-style action, and execute it anywhere you choose.

GitLab plugin supported in CAP

If you are a user of both CloudBees CI and GitLab as your SCM, the GitLab-branch-source and GitLab API plugins have been added to the CloudBees Assurance Program (CAP). The plugins will enable you to have a supported way of creating multibranch and organization folder jobs backed by a GitLab server. Since they are in CAP, these plugins will now receive necessary updates and security fixes under the CloudBees Assurance Program (CAP). Wahoo!

Java, Java Everywhere!

With the increasing adoption of Java 17, the Jenkins and CloudBees community has been abuzz about the numerous benefits it brings, including improved performance, enhanced security, new language features, and long-term support.

CloudBees CI will support Java 17 in January/February of 2024, so now is the time to start planning the migration! Additional details will follow the closer we get to the support date.

Maven plugin changes in CloudBees CI

Two points to note: 

  1. We have removed the maven-plugin from CAP, and it is now a tier 3 plugin from October release onward. 

  2. Pipeline-maven (Pipeline Maven Integration plugin) was added and is now part of CAP.  Using the new Pipeline-maven plugin is the recommended way to build maven projects from pipelines moving forward.
