This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. The videos of the sessions from Jenkins World 2016 are up! I’ve updated the wrap-up posts with links to each of the sessions mentioned: Jenkins Pipeline Scaling Jenkins Ask the Experts & Demos You can also find video from all the sessions here. Enjoy!...

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. This year’s Jenkins World conference was a huge milestone for the Jenkins project - the first global event for the Jenkins community. It brought users and contributors together to exchange ideas on the current state of the project, celebrate accomplishments of the past year, and look ahead at all the exiting enhancements coming down the pipe(line). Contributor Summit To kick...

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. As I mentioned in my previous post, Jenkins World brought together Jenkins users from organizations of all sizes. It also brought together Jenkins users of all skill levels; from beginners to experts (including to JAM organizers, board members, and long time contributors). A number of those experts also volunteered to staff the Open Source Hub’s "Ask the Experts" desk...

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. One of the great features of Jenkins is how far it can scale, not only from a software perspective, but also from an organizational one. From a single Jenkins controller with one or two agents to a multiple controller with thousands of agents, from a team of only a few people to a whole company with multiple...

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. As someone who has managed Jenkins for years and manually managed jobs, I think pipeline is fantastic. I spent much of the conference manning the Ask the Experts desk of the "Open Source Hub" and was glad to find I was not alone in that sentiment. The questions were not "Why should I use Pipeline?", but "How do...

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. That’s a Wrap! Any way you look at it, last week’s Jenkins World Conference 2016 was a huge success. In 2011, a few hundred users gathered in San Francisco for the first "Jenkins User Conference". Over successive years, this grew into several yearly regional Jenkins user conferences. This year, over 1,300 people came from around the world to...

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. Blue Ocean is available today via the Jenkins Update Center 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. Over the last couple years, Pipeline as code has very much become the future of Jenkins - in fact, at this point, I’d say it’s pretty well established as the present of Jenkins. But that doesn’t mean it’s done, let alone that it’s perfect. While many developers enjoy the power and control that they...
