What does the announcement about Datacenter going away mean for Bamboo?

[Martin Winter]

As Atlassian now announced that the Datacenter products go away, I'm curious what that means for Bamboo. Does this mean an end for Bamboo ? Or is there a new Cloud version coming for Bamboo?

I doubt that we are ever able to move to a cloud version of something like a bamboo. Our Bamboo instance grew massive - too massive to ever make sense for a cloud and all the agents would have to be on our network anyway as they run on very specific OS and hardware.

Unfortunatly, no mention of Bamboo on the recent announcement... Would love some clarification

Hello Martin,

Welcome to Atlassian community.

Unlike other Atlassian products, Bamboo does not have a cloud equivalent. For customers seeking cloud-based CI/CD, we recommend evaluating Bitbucket Pipelines for code build and deployment needs. We encourage you to analyze the feasibility of migrating your workflows to Bitbucket Pipelines to ensure a smooth transition.

Can you clarify your response?

Does this mean that Bamboo is going away and Bitbucket Pipelines is the only Atlassian product for CI/CD in the future or does that mean that Bamboo is (for now) not impacted by this announcement?

(To clarify, we currently use Bamboo Datacenter in a setup with > 1000 remote agents across all common Linux and *BSD enviroments with agents running on x86_64, i386, arm64, ppc64el, ppc32 and riscv. Also archiving around 100TB of artifacts as part of the Bamboo builds. I don't think anything close to this is possible with Bitbucket Pipelines)

Hi Martin,

Yes you are correct, with this announcement Bamboo is also affected and in future Bitbucket pipelines is the only solution available for CI/CD from Atlassian.

However there are few exceptions to it and to know further I would kindly request you to raise request at https://support.atlassian.com/contact/ where you can speak to our support to look at your available options. Kindly use the Bamboo SEN while raising the request. 

Regards,

This decision to discontinue Bamboo Data Center is pretty catastrophic. We've setup most of our infrastructure on it and now will need to move back to Jenkins.  Apologies, but Pipelines is super difficult to use and debug - it's simply not a viable option.

[Martin Winter]

Same for us. Bitbucket Pipelines is no option and doesn't have the features we need. If this is the choice by Atlassian (and I'll reach out to them to discuss) then I have to move to something else.

But I have to say that I was pretty happy with Bamboo. Using it for a very long time and in general it just works as expected. Sad to see it go.
