We are happy to announce the availability of our February, March and April rolling releases for all CloudBees Solutions: CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise (CJE), CloudBees Jenkins Platform (CJP), CloudBees DevOptics and the newly acquired Codeship By CloudBees. The acquisition of Codeship by CloudBees on February 6th, 2018, added the leading SaaS-based continuous delivery platform into the overall suite of CloudBees solutions. From individual developers to large enterprises, CloudBees has the right solution to fit your CI/CD needs.
Notable highlights from the releases include integration with Red Hat OpenShift (RHOS) on CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise and the addition of event-based triggers to chain pipelines, a feature we call Cross Team Collaboration.
More information on important features and functionality added to our CloudBees solutions over the past three months can be found below.

Our flagship solution for enterprise-ready Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery in the cloud, CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise (CJE) solves the automation needs of organizations requiring scalability, security, manageability and resiliency capabilities with Jenkins.

Team Master Creation Recipes As part of the Team Creation process, users have a drop-down menu to choose between different Master customization options, such as "basic" and "java web", when creating a team for the first time. These options will automatically install plugins on the Master based on the selection. |
Administrators can easily and quickly configure Masters to the needs of individual teams with the UI as part of the onboarding process. |
Teams as default user experience For users that have the ability to create teams, such as a Jenkins admin, they automatically land on the Team Creation page upon logging into Jenkins. |
Improves usability- eliminates the need to navigate to the Team Creation page. See this article for additional information. |
"Environment Variables" are now a part of the New UX Configuration settings, like CPU usage or memory, can be easily accessed from the navigation toolbar. |
A central dashboard acts as the single source of truth to manage all of your team's settings. |
Managed Master reprovision On a CJE cluster running version 2.X or greater, users are now able to reprovision a Managed Master either:
Upon reprovisioning the Managed Master, there will be no data loss in the newly provisioned Master ($JENKINS_HOME data is intact). |
The product ensures there's no disruption in service and no loss in CI/CD data in the event that a Managed Master needs to be reprovisioned, when:
|
Allows configuring storage class for Kubernetes masters Applications, such as CJE, running on the Kuberenetes cluster have the flexibility to set a 'StorageClass' that's most appropriate for its needs.
|
Added flexibility to configure specific 'StorageClasses' in CJOC and Managed Masters means that admins can ensure they are configuring storage entities which are fully supported by CloudBees.
|
Visibility into Jenkins Agent failures In the event that Jenkins Agents fail to launch in a CJE cluster, a user can now view the status and logs of the Jenkins Agent pod right inside the CloudBees Jenkins Operations Center UI.
|
Developers can readily debug and troubleshoot Jenkins Agent provisioning failures without having to depend on a cluster admin to determine the root cause, ultimately saving your developer's time. |
