CONTAINERIZATION
Build the app once,
for one platform - run
anywhere
Consistency
between
environments
Easy to build &
maintain - creates
modularity
Cheaper and
smaller footprint
compared to VMs

Kubernetes is the winner for Container Orchestration
Run containers
across many
different machines
Auto scale as
demand changes
Automatic load
balancing across
containers
Keeping storage
consistent with
multiple instances of
an application

Can be on-premise,
private and public
cloud

We are the Jenkins expertsDiverse Application Landscape
TraditionalModern Legacy
● Existing applications (traditional &
legacy) consume 80% of the IT
budget
● Few modern applications
● No plans to migrate majority of
legacy and traditional applications
Containerized, microservice
architecture, built for cloud
Outdated technology
but critical for IT
Apps deployed on
server-oriented architecture

Diverse Deployment Environments

● Majority of applications are in a data

● Applications slowly being migrated to

Who Benefits?
CD as a Service
• On demand CI/CD
• Spend more time on codingDeveloper
Jenkins or
Team Admin
Tools or Shared
Services
Simplifies Provisioning
• Manage CloudBees Core as any other
application on Kubernetes
• Conform and enforce IT standards
• Delegate provisioning of masters
Reduces admin burden
• On demand team onboarding
• Easily manage permissions
• Simplifies provisioning of masters

Solution Value Pillars
Feature Benefits
Simplified management Offer self service CD
Security & compliance Powerful control of pipelines & jobs
Unconstrained flexibility CD for all applications
Leverages Kubernetes Scalable and resilient

Elegant, intuitive user experience
• Easily create, administer and manage
teams
• Extends Blue Ocean
• Assign roles and correct permissions to
Jenkins users
• Shift focus from servers and resources
(masters and agents) to teams and
pipelines
• Allows Shared Services to delegate
tasks to team-level admins

Security through Team Masters
• Easy to understand pre-defined roles: Team Admin, Team Member, Team Guest
• Roles are fully customizable with fine grained permissions
• Easy to understand permissions: Administer, Run and Read
• Integrated with new user experience
• Apply department and organization level permissions to individual teams or projects
• Lock down access to individual masters
• Bulk add new users and manage users through Operations Center CLI

CloudBees Jenkins Operations Center
• Manage multiple masters with one
interface
• Share build agent resources (Mac and
Windows) that can be used by any
master
• Control authentication and authorization
schemes used by masters
• Update plugins on masters
• Management and enforcement of
security settings on masters

CloudBees Role-Based Access Controls
Granular control of permissions
• Define permissions by user, team, folder and job
• Define various roles globally or limit them by objects
• Enables delegation of assigning roles to team or Jenkins admin
Single Sign On
• Built-in SSO server to simplify way of securing masters
• Reinforces company security standards
• Integrated with authentication standards (SAML2, OAuth,) and backends
(LDAP, Active Directory)

CloudBees RBAC

Compliance
Templates for jobs, folders and builds
• Template Pipeline
• Custom Marker Files
• Benefits
▸ Standardize CD pipelines & folders
▸ Standardize CD pipelines company
▸ Facilitates separation of duties
• Shared libraries or custom libraries
• Customer defined pipeline snippets for reuse
▸ Facilitates DRY - do not repeat yourself

Autoscaling & Resiliency
• Developers are no longer bottlenecked from running any number of tests or builds,
even all at once
• Automatically scales the CloudBees Core cluster by provisioning just the resources needed
by teams to run their CI/CD workloads without bottlenecks
• Upon completion of CI/CD workloads, the cluster can be scaled down automatically
resulting in tangible cost savings and complying with standard IT policies
• Developers can rest assured that any Jenkins or infrastructure related failures are
automatically handled
• Automatically provisions Jenkins agents or masters in the event of any catastrophic
crashes, thus ensuring there’s no business disruption for the enterprise

Cloud Service Provider

• Lack of central process control &
management dashboards
• Upgrade of plugins on different
masters becomes complex to maintain
• Non reproducible SW builds & testsMaster A Master B
Master C Master D
DevOps sprawl - disconnected masters

Poor infrastructure utilization
= more cost
