Paris, April 17th, 2012: Jenkins User Conference
Jenkins, the
world’s most popular open source Continuous Integration server, and JFrog, the creator of Artifactory Binary
Repository, announce the Jenkins CI Artifactory-Online
repository service, a new joint collaboration around an advanced Artifact Repository
solution for the Jenkins community.
JFrog, the JavaOne 2011 Duke’s Awards
winner for Innovative Tool for Developers, has set up a new dedicated
Artifactory Online instance for the Jenkins project. Artifactory Online, JFrog’s SaaS solution, is a
cloud-based artifact repository service that runs on Amazon EC2. It offers the
full Artifactory Pro platform
and commercial enterprise features for hosting and delivering releases,
snapshots, plugins and other resources to the Jenkins community.
Developers of 400+ Jenkins plugins now relie on Artifactory for
their plugin development which provides a better, more advanced infrastructure
for plugin deployment and distribution.
“We have been collaborating with Kohsuke and the CloudBees team for
the last few years,” said Shlomi Ben Haim, CEO of JFrog. “We supported the
Jenkins project from the early days of the Hudson fork, and insisted on
providing users with the freedom to choose their tool stack and avoid vendor
lock-in. Artifactory in the Cloud already serves the leading OSS communities,
such as SpringSource, Grails, Gradle, Scala
and more. We are honored to bring the Jenkins CI community on board,” added Ben
Haim.
“Being able to host artifacts in a well-managed service like
Artifactory Online has been a great help to the project,” says Kohsuke
Kawaguchi, founder of Jenkins CI, formerly known as Hudson. “I’m grateful to
JFrog for their generous support to the Jenkins project” continued Kawaguchi.
Yoav Landman, JFrog CTO, said, “Using Artifactory as the Jenkins
plugin distribution platform also opens the door for more advanced plugin
delivery options, such as maintaining parallel Update Centers based on plugin
maturity, or employing smarter Update Center metadata updates.”
In the Jenkins User Conference in
Paris on April 17, Fred Simon, JFrog’s Chief Architect, will demo
Continuous Integration deployment using Jenkins, Gradle and Artifactory. He
will also share thoughts, solutions, tools and visions in a final panel with
other speakers.
Both teams are excited by this cooperation and see it as a great
opportunity for improving Jenkins users' experience and advancing open source
technologies.
