Whole lotta CI/CD goin\\u2019 on

\\n\\n

\\n
• CloudBees acquires software automation startup Electric Cloud, French coverage.\\n\\n
  \\n
  • Jay@451\\u2019s summary: \\u201cGiven the sprawl of tools and platforms for enterprise DevOps and CI/CD software releases, CloudBees\' purchase of Electric Cloud represents a welcome consolidation in the industry. It also continues DevOps M&A that began with JFrog\'s acquisition of Shippable earlier this year. The deal should also have a broad impact on enterprise DevOps since CloudBees \\u2013 backer of the widely used Jenkins CI server \\u2013 will add release management, orchestration, automation and other aspects of CD from Electric Cloud, a leading enterprise DevOps specialist. The combined offerings should help provide feedback for enterprises throughout CI/CD release processes, enabling and enhancing feedback loops that are critical to successful DevOps implementations. The move may also help both vendors address the use of cloud-native software such as containers and Kubernetes, as well as hybrid cloud infrastructures that span on-premises, public and private cloud environments.\\u201d
  \\n
  • Electric Cloud has ~110 employees, CloudBess ~400.
