Bitbucket Pipelines: Runners - Early Access

[#1]

About the self-hosted runners early access program

We’re excited to introduce an early access program for the Bitbucket Pipelines Runners. 

Building a CI/CD workflow that spans across your own infrastructure and Atlassian cloud is hard. Currently, this can be done by opening a port in your firewall and allowing Bitbucket to access your internal resources, we know opening up a port has its own security implication and is not ideal. Many of you have asked for a better way to access resources in your own private network. This access is usually required for running integration tests against your internal databases, accessing the secret manager, deploying to your own infrastructure, among others.

We are building self-hosted runners so that you can execute your pipeline or step in your own infrastructure. The self-hosted runner is currently in development and soon we will be looking for people to participate in a trial. The Bitbucket Pipelines Runners early access program will allow you to try an early version of the self-hosted runner prior to the official release.

The goal of this program is to allow you to test and benefit from new features in advance and provide us with some useful feedback as we continue to build Runners.

The early version of the Runner is not a full release and will not have all features.

How to participate in this program

After submitting the form, you’ll be contacted if your requirements match our program criteria and we have available spots.

Once the self-hosted runners is available, we'll contact you with instructions on how to get started with self-hosted runners.

We want your feedback

We will be asking for feedback from all participants in the early access program. This feedback will help us improve the Runners for all customers and will help us understand your needs.

We’re looking for feedback on:

• Whether the experience worked for you, including any bugs or issues

• What documentation or information you need to use the runner

• What was helpful and easy

• What was difficult or just didn’t work

Get involved

Sign up for the early access program, or follow the progress of this work.

Thanks - I’m looking forward to shaping the future of Atlassian products with you!

Would be useful for us as we build C/C++ using Conan and Artifactory package manager

If we can do a pipeline build internally in a runner it would have access to our internal Artifactory package server
