12 New DevOps Features in Modern Trends of Technology

Introduction:

Today, we are announcing 12 new features, automations and integrations to help developers take their time back and ship better code, faster. Less context switching. Fewer meetings. Fewer pings from IT about security incidents. Just more time to code and deliver value to customers. We are helping developers focus on their code as we uniquely connect development, IT operations, and business teams with automation that spans our products and third-party tools. With Jira as the backbone and ultimate source of truth, Atlassian unifies all of DevOps work and reduces collaboration overload. To learn more about how we are helping developers get more productive, read on

Plan and track projects right in the context of your code

We believe that the DevOps toolchain is not a one-sized-fits-all approach. DevOps is a toolbox across different applications and teams, and the developer knows best when it comes to what tools to use or how many. But with that flexibility comes a critical need for coordination of the work. Our survey found that an increasing number of DevOps teams are saying they need 5+ tools to understand project status. IT Ops and Business teams that aren't closely working in these tools need to know what's happening and when. That's where Jira comes in. Jira automatically unifies work across teams and tools.

We've built deep integrations between Jira Software Cloud and Bitbucket Cloud, GitHub, and GitLab so that issue tracking and project updates happen right where you code, automatically. No need to go back to Jira. And your project manager won't have to ping you for updates and interrupt your coding flow, because your project board will automatically update based on your work in Bitbucket, GitHub, or GitLab.

• The new Your Work dashboard in Bitbucket Cloud has been expanded to include your assigned Jira issues so you can quickly move from one task to the next, without jumping between tools. Inside each repository, you'll also soon see a new team-level view of connected projects and issues inside the "Jira issues" tab.
• In Jira Software Cloud, we've enhanced the automation capabilities with powerful new DevOps Automation Triggers. With just a few clicks, you can create automation rules to keep your work in sync with development activities, with triggers from commit or pull request activity in any connected code repository. At their most basic, you can automatically update the status of the related Jira issues, but these new automations also allow more complex rules like reassigning Jira issues for QA or code review, or even sending a message to your team's Slack channel about new PRs. These automation rules work with Bitbucket Cloud, GitHub, GitLab and any other code repository that integrates with Jira Software Cloud.

Jenkins Plugins for Developing the Application

Review, test, and deploy code without losing your place

Every team wants the best possible tools for writing and reviewing code, and with Bitbucket Cloud, we've got you covered. We want to maximize your developers' productivity on the most important tasks they do each day ? writing and reviewing code.

Whether you prefer working in Bitbucket or your IDE, our goal is to keep you in the flow, and reduce unnecessary bounces between your tools.

• Bitbucket Cloud's new Pull Request Experience delivers an innovative design that makes it easier and faster to review your code changes. New features like consolidated list of tasks, integrated Jira issue creation, and activity feed filters mean developers can complete their code reviews faster, and efficiently juggle multiple pull requests at once.
• The Atlassian VS Code integration brings your entire dev pipeline into your editor, with your task list from Jira Software Cloud, a complete code review experience, and CI/CD tracking from Bitbucket Pipelines. If you haven't already seen it, try out the VS Code extension today

Ship fast without breaking things

DevOps teams are trying to accelerate their pipeline through automation and "shifting left" of manual checks into the CI/CD process. To help with this, we've brought scanning and quality reports into the Bitbucket Cloud code review experience so reviewers are alerted of potential issues before anything gets pushed through to production. You can also try out our new automated change management, which connects your CI/CD pipeline with painless change approvals in Jira Service Desk Cloud.

Code Insights in Bitbucket Cloud lets you bring the best DevOps scanning, testing and analysis tools into your code review process, including Mabl for test automation and Sentry for automated monitoring. Our new DevSecOps integration with Snyk is especially important, as Snyk can scan and highlight critical security vulnerabilities early ? before they turn into a Sev-1 security incident. All these integrations are also built on an open API, so you can extend Bitbucket Cloud with additional code reports for your own tools

Automated change management with Jira Service Desk Cloud and Bitbucket Pipelines (currently in early access) will pause your CI/CD process, create a change request in Jira Service Desk, and then trigger the deployment once it is approved:

• Our Risk Assessment Engine in Jira Service Desk Cloud quickly scores the risk of a change and auto-approves and deploys low-risk changes.
• Our Change Management View in Jira Service Desk Cloud streamlines the approval process for high-risk changes by pulling all of the information together in traceable change requests the team can review and manually approve if necessary.
• Automated change management supports Bitbucket Pipelines, Jenkins, Circle CI, and Octopus Deploy.

DevOps is about tools and practices/culture

Successful DevOps implementation doesn't end at connecting the tools. Most DevOps practitioners agree, citing people and culture as the top factor in successfully implementing. To strike this balance, we've created a new destination for you to learn and share DevOps best practices.

Our resources hub shares guidance on how to connect tools with practices and cultivate a worldclass DevOps culture. The hub will include:

• DevOps Community (featuring exclusive AMAs with DevOps thought leaders)
• DevOps Confluence templates (to improve DevOps rituals and set long-term team goals)
• DevOps Guides (on how to connect tools like Jira with industry best practices like CI/CD)

We've also extended our automated integrations to your go-to communication tools. For your day-to-day,our Slack integration and Status page integrations can help you adopt DevOps best practices in both your internal and external communications.
