A lot changed since we were introduced to cloud, Kubernetes, and containers. Whatever we did in the past might not be valid anymore. Our applications need to become cloud-native, we need to adopt Kubernetes as the first class citizen, and there is no doubt anymore that continuous delivery is a must for any company that wants to stay competitive. The problem is that Kubernetes is complicated and the ecosystem is vast. Understanding low-level details takes more time than we might have, and yet we need to get everyone on board. We need a tool that will allow us to leverage all the latest and greatest processes and tools. At the same time, we need them to be simple and straightforward so that everyone can benefit from them. That is the primary objective behind the Jenkins X project. It brings power by combining best practices and tools while keeping it so simple that anyone can use it.

Jenkins X, an open source project introduced to the community by CloudBees, enables the rapid creation, delivery and orchestration of cloud-native applications based on continuous delivery best practices and the proven Kubernetes platform.

By combining the power of Jenkins, its community and the power of Kubernetes, the Jenkins X project provides a path to the future of continuous delivery for microservices and cloud-native applications.

Jenkins X is Jenkins and additional best of breed tools and software for Kubernetes. It provides an interactive command-line interface to instantiate applications, repositories, environments, and pipelines and orchestrate continuous integration and continuous delivery.

We'll explore how to create a fully operational continuous delivery pipeline using containers, Kubernetes, Jenkins X, and quite a few other tools.

GitOps is a way to do continuous delivery by using Git as source of truth for declarative infrastructure and applications. In this session, we will walk through how Intuit reinvented its CI/CD pipeline following GitOps principles using open source Jenkins and Argo CD on Kubernetes. This improved developer productivity by reducing build, test and deployment time from more than 6o minutes to less than 10 minutes.

Serverless technology is emerging and adoption by software engineering teams is very high. Like any new technology, there are many benefits but some new challenges as well. Implementing CI/CD practices in this cloud native environment is not trivial. In this session, we will go over the special characteristics developers need to consider when developing and deploying serverless functions.       * How to build and manage the pipeline. * Best practices to the testing environment. * How to set the monitoring to this distributed environment as part of the deployment pipeline. Learn how to increase your team development velocity by combining the benefits of serverless computing and CI/CD practices.

In this case study we present the multi-cloud approach of deploying the Adobe Sign service to multiple geographies using both Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. We will discuss driving forces behind multi-cloud adoption, the pros and cons of the approach and cover strategies developed to achieve a "push button" deployment to both clouds using in-house and third-party tools.

GitHub has released GitHub Package Registry. The GitHub Registry provides a seamless way to implement a secure registry within a CI/CD pipeline. This lightning talk will demonstrate how the Package Registry may be used as a secure repo for build artifacts, and automate their deployment via a Jenkins pipeline. This tight integration with the GitHub VC system exposes fewer attack vectors and helps ensure a secure software supply chain.

In the world of Agile and CI/CD, continuous testing is no longer a nice-to-have. It is a crucial piece of your software delivery pipeline to ensure that you are able to deliver your applications at speed, without compromising quality. However, with testing volume increasing at every stage of the development lifecycle, you can’t let test infrastructure limits create bottlenecks and dips in productivity. Join Derek Ross from Sauce Labs as he demonstrates how Sauce Labs eliminates the infrastructure bottleneck by providing the world’s most comprehensive continuous testing cloud. Learn how Sauce Labs can enable your teams for functional testing excellence with:

• Full cross browser coverage for desktop web apps 
• Emulators, simulators and real devices for all types of mobile apps 
• Headless browsers for early pipeline testing -Visual component verification 
• Front-end performance metrics 
• ...And more! 

No matter where you are in your continuous testing journey, you will walk away from this presentation with an understanding of why Sauce Labs continues to be the front-end functional test execution platform of choice for many of the world’s leading brands, helping them to release better quality software, faster.

Enterprises have spent millions of dollars to transform enterprise software development and delivery. Yet, we still struggle to answer whether and how this impacts performance.  Value Stream Management is the missing link to navigate and track the digital transformation journey. From CI/CD implementation, to scaling best practices throughout the enterprise, Value Stream Management guides continuous software delivery improvement.  Join us as we discuss a real-world journey in a highly-regulated environment. Learn from Lilly's ongoing Lilly implementation and its successes and failures.

"There's no question the primary aim of the DevOps pipeline is to ship the highest quality of code from the repository to the production environment swiftly, efficiently and securely. But modern DevOps pipelines also creates vast amounts of data from tools used as source code repositories, bug tracking systems, static code analysis, test management frameworks, unit/integration/performance test executions and vulnerability/security analyses. All of the data from the DevOps pipeline can be used to make future releases leaner, more efficient and intelligent. During this session, you'll learn how machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques can be applied to logs and metadata collected from management tools, code analysis, testing and vulnerability analyses. Doing so enables you to recommend and execute only the required test cases during hotfix, release candidate, major and minor releases. Additionally, you'll see how the efficiency of DevOps pipelines can increase with the use of a scalable testing grid, which adapts per incoming workload."

"Enterprise mobility teams face many challenges thanks to digital transformation and consumer demand. There is mounting pressure to develop apps that are better, faster and more innovative than ever before. With increased app development comes the heightened demand for more testing. In today’s mobile-driven world, consumers are now conditioned to expect user experiences that simply work with no issues right out of the box.

But how can enterprise mobility teams keep up with demand? With the right tools, such as Jenkins, mobile teams can thrive in an agile, DevOps world by leveraging a mobile device cloud as part of their continuous delivery strategy. This presentation will explore how to conquer mobile app CI/CD challenges by pairing Jenkins with a mobile device cloud platform for a powerful boost in DevOps and continuous integration.

We've all heard Marc Andreessen's quote about "Every business is a software business." But did you know that the rest of that quote includes this gem: "Cycle time compression may be the most underestimated force in determining winners and losers in tech.” If you have automated everything and have bought the biggest hardware or clouds you can afford but STILL have engineers complaining about build and test speeds, perhaps it's time to take another look at the problem. In this session you will learn how to accelerate your builds and tests on half your existing infrastructure - and keep your engineers off the ping pong table.

A scalable and cost-effective continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) infrastructure enables enterprise developers to release new features and bug fixes quickly and safely without manually triggering any deployment scripts. CI/CD workloads are fault-tolerant and built to take advantage of the cost savings offered by Amazon EC2 Spot Instances. In this session, we will show you how to run CloudBees Core on EKS while also demonstrating architectural best practices like auto scaling, segregation of agent workloads, and Kubernetes-native integration with Spot Instances. We will show you how to run your continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) solution based on Jenkins using CloudBees Core on Amazon EKS. We will demonstrate architectural best practices like automatic scaling, segregation of agent workloads, and Kubernetes-native integration with Amazon EC2 Spot Instances.

We've spent six years studying secure coding practices of DevOps and continuous delivery organizations by surveying over 15,000 IT professionals. We've analyzed their staffing practices, educational priorities, automation choices and process improvements that improve their cybersecurity preparedness. Our study has also uncovered details of where automation fails, awareness falls short and breaches happen. Come participate in this session where we will share the 10 habits practiced by the DevSecOps Elite that you can then apply to -- or further mature within -- your own organization. We will also uncover what our analysis revealed about securing CI/CD pipelines, including what popular Jenkins plug-ins are used for security.
