  • CloudBees Looks to Drive Software Delivery Management

    CloudBees Looks to Drive Software Delivery Management

    At its DevOps World | Jenkins World 2019 conference, CloudBees today unfurled an early preview of the CloudBees Software Delivery Management (SDM) service, which applies analytics to metrics gathered by the company’s continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) platforms to enable organizations to optimize DevOps processes based on their business goals.

    CloudBees CEO Sacha Labourey said CloudBees is trying to take DevOps to another level by providing a unified view of all development activity and the impact any delay those projects might encounter will have on the organization.

    The CloudBees SDM service provides access to a Contributions dashboard to provide insights into work prioritization and dependencies that are hindering other projects, as well as an Efficiency dashboard to provide retrospective insights that can be used to improve development going forward.

    In addition, the CloudBees SDM service surfaces suggestions and alerts based on a policy and rules-based engine that identifies issues that warrant deeper investigation, such as code that doesn’t comply with a regulatory compliance mandate.

    There’s also an integrated feature flag management that enables DevOps teams to manage delivery and rollout of application features based on business and operational metrics.

    Finally, the CloudBees SDM service provides access to a Product Hub module, which provides visibility into all the data, resources, development and delivery activity around a specific product, and a Value Stream Management module, through which additional business insights relating to feature contributions and the overall status of a specific project are surfaced.

    Labourey said the CloudBees SDM service initially will be available as a cloud service, but the company expects to make an on-premises edition available as well.

    The goal is to provide IT leaders with a framework for managing multiple development teams that roughly equates to the capabilities a customer relationship management (CRM) application provides managers of sales teams, which should make it easier for organizations to identify best DevOps practices that should be shared across the organization, said Labourey. DevOps practices have been adopted unevenly across many organizations. The CloudBees SDM platform goes further than legacy approaches to software development lifecycle (SDLC) platforms in that it also makes it easier to identify what impact DevOps processes also are having on the business, he said.

    Longer-term, Labourey also noted the CloudBees SDM platform will act as the mechanism through which machine and deep learning algorithms will be applied, once a critical mass of data is acquired.

    CloudBees envisions its SDM service being used as a tool to coach developers on how to build better code faster. However, there always will be organizations that will make use of any SDLC platform as a vehicle primarily employed to drive higher levels of developer productivity, noted Labourey.

    Whatever the motivation for adoption, advances in analytics are transforming the way every process is managed. Software development is no exception; it’s one of the first job functions where advanced analytics most likely will be applied aggressively.

  • DevOps World | Jenkins World 2019: Sacha Labourey Q&A

    DevOps World | Jenkins World 2019: Sacha Labourey Q&A

    CloudBees has been active on the acquisition front, picking up Electric Cloud and Rollout in recent months: Are we going to be talking about other deals by the time DevOps World Lisbon rolls around in December?

    “We’re always actively looking at deals that make sense. To be truthful, we’ve set the bar pretty high at the moment. Not only are we focusing hard on executing on those acquisitions, we’re delivering on a vision we’ve laid out for the future in a category we call Software Delivery Management.”

    What are you most looking forward to at DevOps World | Jenkins World 2019?

    “Always the same: Meeting with great people, hearing about the great innovations in the Jenkins and Jenkins X community, and really, checking out everything all these talented companies are doing. The amount of creativity and innovation we see year after year at DevOps World | Jenkins World is truly amazing.”

    How is CloudBees addressing gender and diversity at this year’s event?

    “We have supported diversity at DevOps World | Jenkins World for a very long time. We’ve tried to encourage diversity in our recruitment of speakers and in our acceptance of them. Specific to this year’s conference, on the Wednesday of the conference week (August 14), CloudBees is sponsoring a Women In Tech mixer, as part of the conference activities. On Thursday, August 15, we’re sponsoring a Diversity and Inclusion luncheon. At the luncheon, a panel of speakers tackle the topic Connecting Diversity and Inclusion with Business Outcomes.

    Outside of DevOps World | Jenkins World, here are some other ways we’ve been trying to be inclusive and supportive of diversity:

    • CloudBees encourages diversity in our hiring. Our industry is heavily white male, but we are committed to achieving more diversity within the company. We’ve been benchmarking ourselves against the industry to see how we rank, relative to our peers. We are not satisfied with the results. We employ highly capable transgender, minority and culturally diverse people. We will continue to make this a priority.
    • We are currently a customer of Power to Fly and are working with them to help attract more women into technical roles. We hosted a Women in Tech event in conjunction with Power to Fly in our Raleigh office on June 25.
    • We have actively supported women in DevOps (as evidenced by the blog series on our website about Women in DevOps). We have had specific breakouts at company meetings and at past DevOps World conferences for Women in Tech.
    • We have supported an internal team of women who applied to speak at the Grace Hopper conference. We are very proud that two have been accepted.
    • Our Customer Advisory Board has increased female representation from two to six (out of about 30 total members).

    As positive as this is, it’s not enough and we are not satisfied with our gains in diversity. We continue to focus on this important area.”

    How has the evolution of DevOps World mirrored CloudBees’ growth?

    “We’ve really witnessed it all since 2010 and before. We’ve been part of the first steps of CI, the move to the right and the quest for ever-increasing automation. We’ve seen the fantastic chain reaction where cloud has enabled organizations to do so much more in DevOps and DevOps has returned the favor, opening up so many opportunities for cloud. We are really witnessing the birth of a new tech era. It is a unique privilege for CloudBees to be part of that small group of change agents!”

    One of the sessions talks about how to become a “DevOps superhero.” What is your personal DevOps superpower? 

    “That’s easy: open source. After years in the JBoss community, at Red Hat and now at CloudBees, where we are the leads on the Jenkins and Jenkins X projects, I still love open source. It is part of our DNA here at CloudBees. There is so much innovation going on in the open source communities, and the developers who are involved are so passionate about what they do. I do think, for the most part, open source developers are among the best in the developer community. They are also inclusive and really have a desire to impact the world.”

  • Announcing the CloudBees Jenkins X Distribution

    Announcing the CloudBees Jenkins X Distribution

    Today we are announcing the first release of the CloudBees Jenkins X Distribution. It’s a battle-tested, preconfigured ready-to-go package for Jenkins X that you can count on today. We’ll vouch for it with support and documentation, and evolve it at a predictable and well-tested cadence.

    That’s a big deal for us and for the Jenkins X community, and we’ll talk here about what it is, what it means, and how it impacts future Jenkins X open source development. Don’t worry, though – it’s all good news.

    What is CloudBees Jenkins X Distribution?

    Jenkins X is growing and evolving, rapidly. Every day it gets more stable, works better and does even more cool new stuff. The OSS community emerging around Jenkins X continues to grow and we want to see that accelerate even more. Open-source standards are good for the industry, and we believe next-gen CI/CD should be as community-driven and as open as Jenkins has been for the last 15 years.

    All that said – some organizations need to rely on something today. They need to know if and when the bits will change and what the change is. They need to know that what worked today will still work next month, where to get help and information and who to count on when they’re picking a tool to power their business.

    We’re creating the CloudBees Jenkins X Distribution to give teams who want to use Jenkins X but can’t go all-in on keeping up with the fast-paced open-source project. We feel this enables teams to use Jenkins X to solve their critical daily needs without limiting community innovation and participation.

    What’s in it, what’s not and where can I get it?

    The CloudBees Jenkins X Distribution doesn’t do everything Jenkins X does – it takes the most mature and critical bits, tests and documents them and then gives you a package of a ready-for-primetime slice of the wider OSS project.

    The distribution will roll in new features on a monthly basis – always tested and documented – and you’ll be able to see what’s coming and choose when to adopt it. We’ll never let any breaking changes get through unexpectedly.

    For example, the first release of CloudBees Jenkins X Distribution supports Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and preview environments, but not Amazon’s Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) or DevPods. These features will come – as will lots of other cool stuff! We will always be upfront so that you know exactly what will run well and what isn’t ready yet.

    The OSS project is there with more experimental features (and welcome arms) if you need one of those features sooner. You can find the full list of what the CloudBees Jenkins X Distribution supports to today, and download it, right here.

    If your team is adopting Jenkins X and wants the comfort of world-class support, CloudBees will stand by the distribution. You can buy paid support plans for the distribution to make sure your team has someone to call and help you out any time you need.

    How does this relate to the OSS world?

    CloudBees is an open-source company, and we want to see open-source standards continue to define how teams work. The CloudBees Jenkins X Distribution is not an attempt to pull oxygen away from the Jenkins X project – it’s the opposite. We know people need a level of trust to invest in new tool choices, and we want to bring that level of maturity to Jenkins X so more people can find it, love it and participate in it.

    The more people using CloudBees Jenkins X Distribution, the more Jenkins X workloads are running in companies all over the world. As a community, Jenkins X can learn from these companies to drive the OSS project, to validate strategic directions, and to get advice and support from the most mature adopters.

    This is a bet on JX and the OSS world for CloudBees, and we’re excited to make it.

    For a full rundown of the conference’s training offerings, check out the Training and Certification page.

    Now, let’s take a quick glimpse at what’s being offered.

    Jenkins Training

    Jenkins, the world’s leading open source automation server, is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. A lot has changed during that time. A community has grown around the technology resource, adding new tools, new plugins and new best practices year after year.

    While the community dedicates itself to sharing information and educating its members, the DevOps World | Jenkins World conference provides the perfect setting to get the targeted training members to get the most out of Jenkins in their work environments.

    DevOps World | Jenkins World has four separate certification courses designed to build attendees’ Jenkins skills. There are introductory and intermediate courses that will position them to become more proficient in specific areas important to their own career development. Attendees can learn about Jenkins pipeline fundamentals—everything from the structure of a declarative pipeline to the use of features to finish the pipeline. They can also take advantage of an intermediate session with lectures about shared libraries and Docker agents and follow-up lab exercises. Jenkins Admin courses get learners started on the Jenkins dashboard and configuration practices and then branches out to cover more advanced concepts such as scaling Jenkins, managing different functions and more advanced uses of Docker and Kubernetes.

    There’s a second track that covers concepts connected to continuous delivery with Jenkins X. The Jenkins X project, introduced by CloudBees, provides a resource to educate community members on cloud-native processes. This course explores ways to take advantage of Jenkins X, showing attendees how to create a fully operational continuous delivery pipeline using containers, Kubernetes, Jenkins X and many other tools.

    CloudBees Training

    If you work with CloudBees technologies in a DevOps environment, the CloudBees Core Fundamentals course is a great place to advance your skills. Attendees need to take Jenkins Admin Fundamentals and Intermediate classes to really leverage the concepts covered here. They’ll learn how to optimize the CloudBees Core product suite to successfully scale CD and DevOps in their organizations. They’ll also learn about key proprietary features in CloudBees Core to enhance the capabilities of Jenkins, including enhancements for authorization and security that provide the control and administration needed to master key aspects of the pipeline.

    DevOps Training

    This course is more advanced—a certification for DevOps leaders of all kinds. To take the course, you don’t have to be an official leader of a DevOps team. Teams need leaders of all kinds. Whatever your position on the team—be it tactical of strategic, as a designer, implementer or motivator—you can play a leadership role. This course will teach the finer points of managing people and situations in a DevOps environment. It will build leadership skills—showing how to align and collaborate to break down silos and evolve the organization. It will present real-life scenarios and case studies to prepare team members to thrive in a fast-paced DevOps and Agile environment. Completion of this certification positions learners to complete the DevOps Leader exam successfully.

    DevSecOps Training

    It took a while for organizations to start integrating security into DevOps environments. Security was once considered an afterthought in—or even a hindrance to—DevOps processes. But now, DevSecOps is taking hold, and organizations need to build the skill levels to make the discipline successful.

    This course offers attendees the training they need to gain a DevSecOps Engineering Certification. It outlines DevSecOps as a concept, reviews key best practices DevOps teams need to adhere to and explains how DevOps security practices differ from other security approaches. The course will teach practical steps on how to integrate security programs into DevOps practices and highlight how professionals can use data and security science as the primary means of protecting the organization and customer. Completion of the course positions attendees to successfully pass the DevSecOps Engineering Certification exam, which is offered on the last day of class.

    We are excited to announce most of the agenda for DevOps World Jenkins World San Francisco is now live. We will continue to fill out the agenda with more sessions, trainings/workshops, and activities. Below is a small sampling of sessions from some of our favorite Jenkins contributors:

    Jenkins Configuration as Code: try it & start contributing! Ewelina Wilkosz

    Jenkins Configuration as Code is an open source Jenkins plugin that allows users to keep complete Jenkins configuration in a simple configuration file (yaml format). In the talk, I’ll briefly present the history of the plugin, the vision for the future and current status. Then I’ll move to the demo section where I’ll show how easy it is to configure and run Jenkins with the help of the plugin.

    Thinking about Jenkins Security – Mark Waite & Wadeck Follonier

    Jenkins security concepts, authorization, authentication and auditing, secure builds, agent security, configuration and administration security, auditing, and security best practices.

    Docker and Jenkins [as Code] – Dr. Oleg Nenashev

    The Configuration as Code plugin is a new milestone which enables managing Jenkins configurations via YAML. Together with Docker, this plugin offers many ways to produce ready-to-fly Jenkins images for any environments. In my talk, I will describe official master and agent images offered by the Jenkins project. What’s inside them? How do you configure images with JCasC and Groovy hooks? How do you use these approaches together? And, finally, how do you simplify packaging of custom Jenkins images and define the entire system [as code]?

    Can Jenkins be the Engine of Mobile DevOps? – Shashikant Jagtap

    In this talk, we will explore the following topics:

    • How mobile DevOps is different than web DevOps

    • What Jenkins misses for mobile
    • How we can make Jenkins better for mobile apps

    Creating a CI/CD Pipeline for Your Shared Libraries – Roderick Randolph

    At Capital One we run tens of thousands of CI/CD pipelines on Jenkins, leveraging the Jenkins Pipeline shared libraries extension to enable code reuse and decrease time to market for dev teams. A code change to our shared library goes live immediately and is consumed the next time a team triggers their project’s pipeline. So, why do we have such high confidence that a code change to our library won’t break a team’s pipeline? The answer: we’ve developed a fully automated CI/CD pipeline for our shared library.

    During this talk, you will learn how to create a fully automated pipeline for your shared libraries including how to develop tests, create canary releases, monitor for issues and quickly rollback changes to your shared library to achieve rapid delivery while minimizing any impact on dev teams.

    How Jenkins Builds and Delivers Jenkins in the Cloud – Brian Benz & Tyler Croy

    Want to know how Jenkins builds Jenkins? Catch this session to see the real-life implementation of Jenkins’ development (at ci.jenkins.io) and delivery infrastructure in the cloud as it evolved from a mix of platforms to multi-platform VMs, containers and Kubernetes on Microsoft Azure. Expect a frank discussion of issues that were encountered along the way, how the architecture has evolved and what’s on the roadmap. We’ll share important tips and tricks for implementing your own Jenkins infrastructure on any cloud, based on Jenkins’ own implementation experience.

    Declarative Pipeline 2019: Tips, Tricks and What’s Next – Liam Newman

    Are you using Declarative Pipeline? Are you considering using them? Are you just curious? Well, we’re going to help you get more out of Declarative Pipeline with less complexity and less effort.

    From-Release-Anxiety-to-Release-Orchestration

    Release managers carry the weight of a successful digital transformation on their shoulders. However, while their colleagues in Development and Operations get to use and experiment with the latest and greatest tools, Release Managers often must rely on emails, spreadsheets and disconnected project management tools to keep abreast of things. Weekend-long release sessions, early morning update meetings, and last-minute delays leave release managers in a constant state of “release anxiety.”

    This eBook examines common job requirements for release managers and describes how Adaptive Release Orchestration eliminates release anxiety by making releases systematic, predictable and repeatable.
