  • CLOUDBEES AND GOOGLE CLOUD PARTNER TO ACCELERATE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT ON ANTHOS

    Respective leaders in DevOps and cloud computing are partnering to provide end-to-end application development automation from source to production, enabling enterprises to build and modernize applications in a hybrid environment

    DEVOPS WORLD | JENKINS WORLD, SAN FRANCISCO – AUGUST 14, 2019 – CloudBees®, the enterprise DevOps leader powering the continuous economy, and Google Cloud, today announced that the two companies are collaborating to deliver a modern DevOps platform based on open source technologies powered by Google Cloud’s Anthos.

    CloudBees provides companies large and small with Jenkins-based continuous delivery solutions that are secure, open toolchain-enabled and scalable to transform software delivery processes across hybrid computing environments.

    Google Cloud is delivering to enterprises a secure, open, intelligent and transformative enterprise cloud platform. Anthos, a hybrid and multi-cloud platform, is built on open source technologies pioneered by Google Cloud and enables consistency between on-premise and cloud environments.

    Together, Google Cloud and CloudBees are helping to accelerate application development and strategically enable businesses with transformational technologies like continuous delivery automation, service mesh, containers and microservices.

    CloudBees and Google Cloud have a deep commitment to open source. CloudBees has been one of the leading companies to support the Jenkins and Jenkins X projects, and Google Cloud is a key leader for projects like Kubernetes and Tekton. Both companies believe that open source is the future of application development and the long-term success of the public cloud.

    In addition, CloudBees and Google Cloud were founding members of the newly formed Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF), an open source foundation that fosters vendor-neutral collaboration between the industry’s top developers, end users and vendors to further continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) best practices and industry specifications.

    “Developers need to build and run applications in a manner that best suits their business, regardless of whether the app will live on-prem or in the cloud. Increasingly, this means adopting a hybrid approach with Anthos, which allows developers to run critical applications in the cloud without entirely eliminating their on-premises infrastructure,” said Rayn Veerubhotla, Director of Hybrid Cloud Partnerships at Google Cloud. “We’re delighted to expand our partnership with CloudBees to accelerate application development in hybrid and public cloud environments.”

    The companies are using transformational technologies like Jenkins X, Kubernetes and Tekton to create a unified, end-to-end software delivery system.

    Earlier in the year, CloudBees announced the availability of CloudBees Jenkins Distribution, a certified distribution of open source Jenkins, in the GCP Marketplace.

    On Thursday, August 15, at DevOps World | Jenkins World, Dave Stanke, developer advocate for Google Cloud Platform, will deliver a keynote titled, So Long, Sheepdog: Towards a Cloud Native CI/CD, where he will review the hallmarks of a healthy DevOps practice and describe how to achieve key capabilities across a range of strategies, from incremental modernization of established systems to the brave new world of a greenfield, cloud native CI/CD platform.

    “Our partnership with Google Cloud brings amazing new capabilities to application developers that want to accelerate application development in a modern hybrid environment,” said Francois Dechery, chief strategy officer, CloudBees. “Meanwhile, enterprises will be able to modernize applications on-premise or in the cloud with Anthos using existing skills and a consistent platform to get products to market faster, and maximize resource utilization.”

  • CLOUDBEES PRESENTS SOFTWARE DELIVERY MANAGEMENT (SDM) – A VISION FOR TURNING SOFTWARE DELIVERY INTO A CORE BUSINESS PROCESS

    Software Delivery Management solves the most challenging problems for organizations –  continuously delivering software efficiently across all teams, tools and technologies while integrating wider business functions

    DEVOPS WORLD | JENKINS WORLD, SAN FRANCISCO – AUGUST 14, 2019 – CloudBees®, the enterprise DevOps leader powering the continuous economy, today gave DevOps World | Jenkins World attendees an advance look at the emerging category of Software Delivery Management (SDM). At the same time, the company demonstrated an early preview of its CloudBees SDM Platform along with its Product Hub and Value Stream Management modules. CloudBees also announced access to an early preview program that will enable attendees to start to adopt SDM. The CloudBees solution will uniquely integrate CloudBees’ advanced DevOps capabilities with new features designed to create the industry’s first end-to-end SDM system.

    While most DevOps teams have made significant strides through the implementation of CI/CD and application release orchestration (ARO) automation to power software delivery, many organizations still operate with siloed development and delivery teams that are disconnected from broader business functions. Disparate and disconnected tools and processes within, across and beyond the DevOps tool chain also get in the way of the organization treating software delivery as a core business process and enabling value creation efforts to create maximum business impact. CloudBees is responding to this challenge by introducing a set of capabilities to support SDM. The capabilities bi-directionally tie together all artifacts, data and events across an organization’s DevOps tool chain into a unified system of record. Doing so enables meaningful collaboration between all teams through universal insights, common connected processes, workflows and governance to truly develop and deliver software at an elite level.

    The key pillars of SDM are:

    • ALL FUNCTIONS COLLABORATING – All functions and teams within and around the software delivery organization work together to amplify value creation efforts.
    • UNIVERSAL INSIGHTS – Visibility and insights enable understanding and continuous learning from data across, up-and-down and throughout all functions in the organization.
    • COMMON CONNECTED PROCESSES – Processes orchestrate software delivery and connect functions together to efficiently bring ideas to market with maximum value and adoption.
    • COMMON DATA – All information within and around software delivery activity is captured and stored with a consistent domain model to enable and facilitate connected processes, shared insights and collaboration.

    At DevOps World | Jenkins World today, CloudBees announced availability of a preview program for its Cloudbees SDM Platform, along with the Product Hub and Value Stream Management modules, and demonstrated some of the new, integrated capabilities that CloudBees will offer to support SDM, including:

    • Product Hub – a central place for integrated visibility and orchestration of all data, resources, development and delivery activity around products
    • Policy Engine – to provide a flexible, general purpose policy and rules engine with automated suggestions allowing alerting and enforcement to support scenarios ranging from team-based continuous improvement to regulatory compliance
    • Efficiency dashboard – to support continuous product team improvement and retrospectives
    • Contributions dashboard – to give developers and other product team members unique insights into work prioritization and blockers
    • Real-time value stream management – to provide immediate visibility and awareness into feature and contribution status and value delivery blockages
    • Integrated feature flag management – to enable policy-driven progressive delivery and rollout control based on business and operational metrics

  • CLOUDBEES ACCELERATOR NOW OFFERS CLOUD BURSTING AND ANDROID Q BUILD ACCELERATION: TWO MORE WAYS TO GET PRODUCTS IN MINUTES INSTEAD OF HOURS

    New enhancements in CloudBees Accelerator version 11.1 cut build and test cycle times even further

    DEVOPS WORLD | JENKINS WORLD – SAN FRANCISCO, CA. – August 14, 2019 – CloudBees®, the enterprise DevOps leader powering the continuous economy, today introduced new enhancements for its CloudBees Accelerator™ platform that will help IT teams get products to market even faster. For the first time, teams can use the industry-leading acceleration platform to burst workloads to all three major cloud providers and shorten build and test times for devices running the new Android Q operating system from hours to minutes.

    CloudBees Accelerator 11.1 dramatically accelerates build, QA and testing cycles by distributing the build over a large cluster of inexpensive servers. Adding support for cloud bursting on Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform and for the development of Android Q devices, it will help organizations get to market quicker and create more time for experimentation and iteration.

    Trying to accelerate build and test cycles with dedicated build clouds is inefficient. CloudBees Accelerator previously enabled developers to burst workloads from a data center or private cloud onto an AWS cloud platform, enabling them to cut build and test times in those environments. Now, with support for Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform, teams can shift workloads to any of the three major cloud providers on-demand, giving them greater efficiency and eliminating vendor lock-in.

    Meanwhile, Android device makers are under huge time – and cost – pressures to release new devices concurrently with Android Q, the new Android operating system now in beta and scheduled for release in Q3 2019. Using CloudBees Accelerator, they can shorten their build and test times to minutes instead of hours, allowing them to get to market faster and potentially avoid fines for releasing devices after the delivery date of a new Android system.

    CloudBees Accelerator 11.1 also includes the following new features:

    • Support for the SSL and TLS cryptographic protocols – This ensures secure communication between EMake tools – which control executables and other non-source files of a program from the program’s source files – and agent components, making CloudBees Accelerator public-cloud ready. This enables security-sensitive organizations in financial services and other vertical industries to ensure their builds aren’t hacked or intercepted.
    • Improvements to CloudBees Electrify™ – This allows users to accelerate non-EMake build tools, such as MSBuild and Scons.
    • Improvements for the Linux Foundation’s Yocto Project – The Yocto Project is an open source project aimed at producing tools and processes that enable the creation of Linux distributions for embedded and IoT software that are independent of the underlying architecture of the embedded hardware. CloudBees Accelerator enables developers to at least triple the speeds of builds usingBitBake build tools or Buildroot files and patches.
    • Improvements to out-of-the-box CloudBees Accelerator support for Windows with native support for distributing and caching Visual Studio projects.
