| CloudBees no longer supports CloudBees Jenkins Distribution as of February 24, 2021.

The increased alignment between CloudBees Jenkins Distribution and Jenkins means users will experience zero impact to Pipeline execution. Existing customers can also contact CloudBees Support to help ensure a smooth transition. Please see About the CloudBees Jenkins Distribution retirement for more information. |
