This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees.

This is a guest post by Liam Newman, Technical Evangelist at CloudBees. As someone who has managed Jenkins for years and manually managed jobs, I think pipeline is fantastic. I spent much of the conference manning the Ask the Experts desk of the "Open Source Hub" and was glad to find I was not alone in that sentiment.

This is a guest post by Jenkins World speaker R Tyler Croy, infrastructure maintainer for the Jenkins project. I don’t think I have ever met a tools, infrastructure, or operations team that did not have a ton of work to do.
