Onboard
Start here. Our onboarding page is a map that guides new users through our documentation so that you can learn, plan, install, set up, and operate.
Advanced, Model-Based Deployment
Make releases boring by replacing brittle scripts with powerful, reusable abstract models. Enable predictable, repeatable deployments for any workload to any environment at any scale.
Process-as-Code
Onboard applications quickly and define release pipelines with a Groovy-based domain specific language (DSL) for automation that is versionable, testable, reusable, and refactorable.
Secure, Scalable, and Robust Architecture
Agent-based, clustering architecture for fault tolerance, unlimited scalability, and impenetrable security.
Unified Object and Data Model
Allow for tighter control over who has access to what resources to ensure the sanctity of the CI pipeline.
Key Metrics Across Releases and CI/CD Pipelines
Learn how to access and use raw data that goes into creating the CloudBees Analytics dashboards and reports.
Popular docs and resources
Architecture
CloudBees CD/RO supports enterprise-scale software production. Based on a three-tier architecture, CloudBees CD/RO scales to handle large, complex environments.
Installing on Kubernetes
Installing on Kubernetes is a preview feature, but users can explore using Helm to install.
CloudBees Analytics
With CloudBees Analytics, included with CloudBees CD/RO, track progress and identity patterns with 360º visibility into metrics across all CloudBees CD/RO processes.
