Summary

We are pleased to announce the general availability of the 2021.11 Preview Release (PR) of the Software Delivery Automation platform.

In this new release, we have made various feature improvements and support in the platform.

GitOps SCM to Server Sync

Users who want to use DSL to store, manage and author their SDA automation as code, are now able to version and maintain that code in an SCM tool. Triggers can be configured so that any changes to the SCM store will automatically be imported into the server as new or updated automation.

The ability to make changes to the SDA server and have it sync back to the SCM store is not supported and will be delivered in a future release.

Support for External PostgreSQL database

We have added support for PostgreSQL databases to the existing list of supported databases. This gives users yet another high performance database to choose from.

Data retention policies for CI objects

We have added a data retention feature in CloudBees SDA that allows defining the criteria for archiving and purging run-time CI data, deployments, pipeline runs, and releases.

Other Significant Features

  • Full support x86 MAC agent enabling step log file retrieval, multizone and proxy support

  • AWS application load balancer support for EKS

  • Big improvements to UI look and feel with new design for breadcrumbs, buttons and tables
