At Jenkins World on Wednesday 14th of September, the Jenkins project was happy to introduce the beta release of Blue Ocean. Blue Ocean is the new user experience for Jenkins, built from the ground up to take advantage of Jenkins Pipeline. It is an entire rethink of the the way that modern developers will use Jenkins.

This is a guest post by Brian Dawson on behalf of CloudBees, where he works as a DevOps Evangelist responsible for developing and sharing continuous delivery and DevOps best practices. He also serves as the CloudBees Product Marketing Manager for Jenkins.

This is a guest post by Jenkins World speaker R Tyler Croy, infrastructure maintainer for the Jenkins project. I don’t think I have ever met a tools, infrastructure, or operations team that did not have a ton of work to do. The Jenkins project’s infrastructure "team" is no different; too much work, not enough time. In lieu of hiring more people, which isn’t always an option, I have found heavy automation...

This is a guest post by R. Tyler Croy, who is a long-time contributor to Jenkins and the primary contact for Jenkins project infrastructure. He is also a Jenkins Evangelist at CloudBees, Inc. I have been heavily using Jenkins Pipeline for just about every Jenkins-related project I have contributed to over the past year. Whether I am building and publishing Docker containers, testing infrastructure code or publishing this very web site, I have been...

This is a guest post by Jenkins World speaker Andrew Bayer, Jenkins developer at CloudBees.

Contributors to these three areas of the Jenkins ecosystem will be in attendance to present details of their design, requirements, and tentative roadmaps. After...

This is a guest post by R. Tyler Croy, who is a long-time contributor to Jenkins and the primary contact for Jenkins project infrastructure. He is also a Jenkins Evangelist at CloudBees, Inc. I find the topic of "scaling Jenkins" to be incredibly interesting because, more often than not, scaling Jenkins isn’t just about scaling a single instance but rather scaling an organization and its continuous delivery processes. In many cases...
