This sort of slid under the radar in the middle of some bigger changes for the JEP-202 reference implementation, so I wanted to call it out now. Arguably this could deserve a retroactive JEP, though I would rather fold it into a JEP for JENKINS-49651 (see below). As of Jenkins 2.118, or plugin parent POM 3.7, you can mark any Java member (class, method, constructor, field, or I suppose also...

Jenkins Essentials has been renamed to Jenkins Evergreen since this was written. A couple weeks ago, I wrote about the Jenkins Essentials effort, on which we’ve been making steady progress. Personally, the most exciting challenge of this project is defining the machinery to drive automatic updates of Jenkins Essentials, which viewed from a high level, are classic continuous delivery challenges. In this post, I wanted to dive into a bit of the...

This guest post was originally published on Wolox’s Medium account here. A few years ago our CTO wrote about building a Continuous Integration server for Ruby On Rails using Jenkins and docker. The solution has been our CI pipeline for the past years until we recently decided to make an upgrade. Why?

Jenkins X is an opinionated platform for providing CI / CD on top of Kubernetes.

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...

We just released security updates to Jenkins, versions 2.116 and 2.107.2, that fix two security vulnerabilities. For an overview of what was fixed, see the security advisory. Subscribe to the jenkinsci-advisories mailing list to receive important notifications related to Jenkins security....

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...
