The Jenkins project, comprised of a community of practitioners using Jenkins, has released (1.0) and general availability of Blue Ocean, its dramatic new UX implementation. The anticipated launch of Blue Ocean brings a new user experience to Jenkins based on a personalized, modern design that allows users to graphically create, visualize and diagnose continuous delivery pipelines. This is more than just putting a modern face on Jenkins: Blue Ocean re-imagines the Jenkins user experience by enabling teams to more easily adopt continuous delivery. CloudBees, Inc., the hub of enterprise Jenkins and DevOps, founded the new project and subsequently open sourced the software.
With the official release of Blue Ocean, Jenkins now allows any member of a DevOps team to adopt continuous delivery without having the expert knowledge previously required to use Jenkins. Continuous delivery pipelines are inherently complex, making it difficult for team members - from developers to IT operations to management - to get a common understanding of the progression of software through the pipeline. It helps simplifies the development of software pipelines by allowing developers to create them with a visual pipeline editor and then visualize the process flow in an intuitive way, such that the whole organization, not just developers, can understand it.
Using Blue Ocean, team members gain a graphical overview of the entire pipeline, enabling them to identify issues and then drill down to find the source of the problem. Underpinned by Pipeline as Code, which enables the pipeline definition to be stored with the application code and infrastructure as code, it also allows teams to reproduce previous configurations and processes easily when things go wrong.
