8.2. CloudBees
CloudBees^5 is the only cloud company focused on servicing the complete develop-to-deploy life cycle
of Java web applications in the cloud. The company is also the world’s premier expert on the Jenkins/
Hudson continuous integration tool.
Jenkins/Hudson creator Kohsuke Kawaguchi leads a CloudBees team of experts from around the world.
They’ve created Nectar, a supported and enhanced version of Jenkins that is available on-premise by
subscription. If you depend on Jenkins for mission-critical software processes, Nectar provides a highly-
tested, stable, and fully-supported version of Jenkins. It also includes Nectar-only functionality such as
automatic scaling to VMWare virtual machines.
If you’re ready to explore the power of continuous integration in the cloud, CloudBees makes Jenkins/
Hudson available as part of its DEV@cloud build platform. You can get started with Jenkins instantly
and can scale as needed—no big up-front investment in build servers, no more limited capacity for
builds, and no maintenance hassles. Once an application is ready to go live, you can deploy on
CloudBees’s RUN@cloud Platform as a Service in just a few clicks.
With CloudBees’s DEV@cloud and RUN@cloud services, you don’t have to worry about servers,
virtual machines or IT staff. And with Nectar, you enjoy the most powerful, stable, supported Jenkins
available.
