Everyone is talking about serverless. As with any new hyped-technology the term 'serverless' is often overloaded with different meanings. Sometimes serverless is oversimplified to mean function-as-a-service(faas). But there is more to it than that. Also, not many people are talking about doing CI/CD with serverless, even though where there is code there still in need of continuous integration and continuous delivery. So I was excited to hear about this talk...

We recently released version 1.3 of Declarative Pipelines, which includes a couple significant new features. We’re going to cover these features in separate blog posts. The next post will show the new ability to restart a completed Pipeline run starting from a stage partway through the Pipeline, but first, let’s look at the new sequential stages feature. Sequential Stages In Declarative 1.2, we added the ability to define stages...

One common pattern for automated releases I have seen and used relies on Git tags as the catalyst for a release process. The immutable nature of releases and the immutable nature of tags can definitely go hand in hand, but up until few months ago Jenkins Pipeline was not able to trigger effectively off of Git tags. In this post I want to briefly share how to use tags...

Anchore provides docker image analysis for user defined acceptance policies to allow automated image validation and acceptance. As developers we would like to know if a change we are proposing introduces a Common Vulnerability and Exposure (CVE). As operators we would like to know what running applications are affected if a new CVE is discovered. Now in Jenkins X pipelines, if we find an Anchore engine service running we...

Jenkins X is an opinionated platform for providing CI / CD on top of Kubernetes. We’ve chosen a set of core applications that we install and wire together so things work out-of-the-box, providing a turn key experience. This blog aims to build on previous introductions to Jenkins X and provide a deeper insight to what you get when you install Jenkins X. So what happens? After downloading the jx...

Its been 24 days since we announced Jenkins X, a CI/CD solution for modern cloud applications on Kubernetes. I’m truly blown away by the response and feedback from the community - thank you! We’ve also had lots of folks report they’ve successfully used Jenkins X on a number of clouds including GKE, AWS and AKS along with on premise clusters which is great to hear! Here’s a brief overview of...

I recently wrote about how all the cloud platforms are all in Kubernetes and so are developers. It is an exciting time, but the problem for many is that this is a huge blank sheet of paper for how to build and deploy applications. A white space, a void, a limitless canvas of possibilities. Insert metaphors here. The problem, as you may guess, is that few people really like or are...

These are all available now in the Update Center, with version 1.2.8. Declarative Directive Generator This is something we’re really happy about - if you go to...
