Jenkins® is an open-source automation server used to automate the software development process, including building, testing, and deploying applications. CloudBees CI is built on Jenkins, but it is an enterprise-level continuous integration (CI) platform, and it offers additional features like enhanced security, scalability, and support to facilitate CI/CD processes at scale.
Integrating CloudBees CI or Jenkins with CloudBees Unify enables you to visualize your CI jobs and builds, analyze test results and artifacts, and orchestrate software releases within a unified interface.
In addition, CloudBees Unify provides enhanced visibility into Multibranch Pipelines across your entire CI environment. All Multibranch Pipelines, including those in Organization Folders, running across CI controllers can be viewed directly within the CloudBees Unify interface. CloudBees Unify provides a comprehensive, unified view of Multibranch Pipelines and builds across the entire CI environment, simplifying monitoring and management while providing valuable insights into CI operations. CloudBees Unify provides flexible integration options to accommodate different CI infrastructures and use cases.
