CloudBees Announces Availability of Support for Jenkins Open Source

DevOps World / Jenkins World – CloudBees, the enterprise DevOps leader powering the continuous economy, today announced at DevOps World | Jenkins World the general availability of CloudBees Jenkins Support, a subscription service for commercial Jenkins® support. This marks the first-ever, support-only offering for Jenkins users.

Jenkins is an open source automation server.

Enterprises can now purchase a support-only subscription from CloudBees that enables IT teams to be more efficient with Jenkins. Through its traditional product subscriptions, CloudBees already manages and supports some of the largest and most demanding Jenkins implementations in the world. Given the keen insight, vast knowledge and experience gained over the years, CloudBees has developed an expansive knowledge base and support infrastructure to detect and resolve issues in customer environments, resulting in more stable and compliant Jenkins implementations.

Benefits of CloudBees Jenkins Support Include:

  • Technical support and maintenance for Jenkins, backed by an SLA
