“The numbers show that our vision for Jenkins X was right on target,” said James Strachan, a distinguished engineer at CloudBees and one of the founders of Jenkins X.
Contributors throughout CloudBees and the Continuous Delivery Foundation ecosystem are hard at work creating more improvements – everything from log handling to environment promotions to onboarding of workflows.” “Offering a richer, more intuitive GUI is just the start. “Our goal is to make Jenkins X the most friction-free environment for developers looking to use Kubernetes in an opinionated, automated way,” said Mo Plassnig, vice president of cloud, CloudBees.

The CloudBees Jenkins X Distribution is a free offering from CloudBees. The existing command line interface (CLI) loved by many developers is still available and continues to be enhanced, but now users have a choice to use the CLI or the new graphical environment, depending on which better suits their workflow. CloudBees’ introduction of a new GUI in its CloudBees Jenkins X Distribution gives developers more flexibility and a richer user experience. Jenkins X continues to be enhanced at a rapid pace. "This was a task that initially looked impossible for a team of just four people, but we did it easily with Jenkins X.”

“As a software developer in charge of migrating monoliths to microservices deployed to Kubernetes, Jenkins X has helped me and my teams to be efficient in managing complex projects that require 100+ source code repositories to be deployed to different Kubernetes clusters," said Mauricio Salatino, principal software developer for a workflow and decision automation platform company and an instructor at Learnk8s. The Jenkins X project, initiated by CloudBees and other contributors in February 2018, is now part of the Continuous Delivery Foundation. Using Jenkins X, developers can leverage Kubernetes to build and deploy cloud native applications quickly and easily without having to learn the intricacies of Kubernetes and its ecosystem. Jenkins X offers automated CI/CD for cloud native applications on Kubernetes. In less than two years, approximately 885 developers have contributed code to the Jenkins X project and there are 176 contributing companies (Source: Continuous Delivery Foundation DevStats, October 2019).
CloudBees’ announcement comes at a time when the Jenkins X open source project and CloudBees’ support for the project are both gaining momentum at a rapid rate, with contributors and supporting companies hitting all-time highs.
