Two years ago, CircleCI launched orbs, YAML-based reusable configuration files, as a way to help developers automate repeated processes, speed up project setup and simplify CI/CD integration with third-party tools. CircleCI is now providing developers with the ability to create private orbs, allowing teams to share configuration exclusively within their organization, Jim Rose, CircleCI CEO told The New Stack. Private orbs provide developers with increased privacy, efficiency and collaboration across teams,” Rose told The New Stack.

While thousands of developers to date have enjoyed their experience with our open source orbs, many of our customers at larger organizations have needed a way to standardize and share their orb instances privately,” Rose said.

With the search function for secondary indexes, developers typically use CircleCI to access all available CircleCI-, partner- and community-authored public orbs with the orb registry.
