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...

Last week we released the latest version of Declarative Pipelines, version 1.2.8. With that out, we thought now would be a good time to introduce you to the new features and options that have been added to Declarative since the beginning of 2018. 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...

We are excited to share and invite the community to join us on a project we’ve been thinking about over the last few months called Jenkins X which extends the Jenkins ecosystem to solve the problem of automating CI/CD in the cloud. Background The last few years have seen massive changes in the software industry: use of immutable container images for distributing software which are smaller, easier...

Table of Contents Introducing "Project Cheetah" Yes, but what does it DO? How Do I Set Speed/Durability Settings? 1. Globally, you can choose a global default durability setting: 2. Each Pipeline can get a custom Durability Setting: 3. Multibranch Projects can use a new BranchProperty to customize the Durability Setting. Will Performance-Optimized Mode Help Me? Other Goodies How Did You Do It? What Next? This is a guest post by Sam Van Oort, Software Engineer at...

This is a guest post by Sanil Pillai, Director of Labs & Strategic Insights, Infostretch Infostretch has created a plugin for teams upgrading from Freestyle Jobs to Pipelines as code with Jenkins Pipeline. This new plugin streamlines the process and accelerates pipeline on-boarding for any new set of applications. Previously, when upgrading to Jenkins Pipeline, converting Freestyle Jobs required developers to drill down on each one of those hundreds (or thousands!)...

Regular perusers of the Jenkins User Documentation may have noticed the presence of the Tutorials part (between the Guided Tour and User Handbook) that appeared in the last couple of months and gradually began to get populated with much of my recent work, writing Jenkins tutorials. My name’s Giles and I’ve been a technical writer in the software development field for several years now. I’ve always been passionate about...

This is a guest post by Philip Stroh, Software Architect at TimoCom. When building multiple microservices - e.g. with Spring Boot - the integration and delivery pipelines of your services will most likely be very similar. Surely, you don’t want to copy-and-paste Pipeline code from one Jenkinsfile to another if you develop a new service or if there are adaptions in your delivery process. Instead you would like to define...
