CloudBees CI BlueOcean Deprecation

1 minute readKnowledge base

Issue

When running CloudBees CI, an administrative monitor is displayed to inform users about the deprecation and upcoming removal of Blue Ocean plugin from the CloudBees Assurance Program (CAP).

Starting with the July 2026 CloudBees CI release, Blue Ocean and Team controllers will reach end-of-life (EOL) and will no longer be supported. After this date, Blue Ocean and Team controllers will not receive updates, security patches, or technical support and will be removed from CAP.

What this means for you:

  • Team controllers will cease to function starting with the July 2026 release.

  • Blue Ocean may continue to work, but is no longer supported by CloudBees.

  • No further updates or security patches will be provided.

  • Technical support for Blue Ocean and Team controllers will no longer be available.

Environment

Resolution

If you are using CloudBees CI Teams, they can be migrated to managed controllers by following either In place conversion of Team controllers to Managed controllers or Migrate managed controllers and team controllers, please reach out to CloudBees support to define a proper migration path in advance.

For troubleshooting Pipelines, we recommend using CloudBees Pipeline Explorer Plugin as a better alternative to BlueOcean.
