The first in a series of CloudBees’ software delivery management modules for its software delivery management platform became generally available Tuesday, as the firm continues to widen its offerings beyond Jenkins and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) management. While software delivery management systems help to support CI/CD, the idea is to further support DevOps efficiency — a key theme of DevOps World 2020 that kicks off this week — by offering more visibility about the status and details about production pipelines and projects that an organization may have in progress — for all stakeholders, including business team members. An engineer manager, for example, could use CloudBees’ software delivery management modules to gain a holistic view of production pipelines — instead of manually parsing through information gleaned from dozens of different monitoring tools and alerts to properly monitor and intervene when needed for specific projects.

As mentioned above, CloudBees’ software delivery management releases are also part of CloudBees’ move to further expand on the scope of what it offers DevOps teams, as the CRM aspect of this release reflects — beyond offering tools and processes for Jenkins management. CloudBees now offers, for example, software delivery automation, as well as software delivery management as part of its push to offer more support for DevOps.
