An anonymous reader writes: As a way to address the many challenges associated with supporting DevOps and adopting Continuous Delivery (CD), CloudBees has released a new Jenkins platform to help teams deliver software.The new platform provides other cloud-native capabilities, including Docker deployment and Mesos large-scale cluster management, which will allow enterprises to run and manage Jenkins across the enterprise on their own private cloud, or by using dedicated AWS resources.

      It's about CD ass. Personally, I'm a big fan.

    "Pricing starts at US $121,000 per year..." I am always astonished at what people can charge for what is essentially tech-support for pre-installed open source software. Sounds like someone has pioneered PGaaS (Price-Gouging as a Service).

      That's a hair over 10k per month. If you make extensive use of Jenkins internally and know how to use the product, but don't want to hire a "Jenkins guy" who owns the whole thing and keeps it running for you, that's going to cost your company less per year than a dedicated release / tools / automation guy + infrastructure to keep things running smoothly will.

      And the great thing is, if you're a cheap shit whose business can't make money, you *still* can go download Jenkins and roll your own solution entirely.

      You're not obligated to buy this service, so calling it "price gouging" is fucking stupid. If you think there's value in what they're offering - buy it. If you don't - don't.

      This. We have six Jenkins servers and only two full time employees that manage it and about a dozen ops people that use it for deployments and thus update jobs and only about twenty devs that maintain the builds and test jobs. There's no way helping us with the ~$500k per year we spend on labor on maintaining our Jenkins jobs is worth six figures.

      Sarcasm noted. But really, that's what you get for trying to write software in a dinosaur like Java.

      Seriously bro. You gotta brogram with what today's brotastic brogram language is. I don't even know what that is for today, but I'm sure as hell 100% behind and and will be listing, like, 5 reasons why it kicks the crap out of whatever dino-lang you might be rolling with. Its a paradigm shift, gotta broll with the tide, bro.

      1. It's describing a manageable and scalable enterprise solution for synergistic administration of Java-based virtual machines built on top of a micro kernel hypervisor.

    Since you're quite vocal here, so can you post some sort of assurance posts like these aren't 'sponsored' in some way. If sponsored posts exist, can we have a yellow 'sponsored' box around them? Like Google does? Please?

      Actually, I kind of like to read an occasional headline that means absolutely nothing to me. Usually, even in the most jargon-laced headline, I can suss out a few terms that give me a vague impression of what the story's about. This one might as well have been Middle Egyptian, and that's kind of cool.
