Hello, Data Center Community,
We’re excited to announce that Bamboo 9.6 is now live as the latest Bamboo Data Center Long Term Support (LTS) release!
Upgrading to a Long Term Support release provides you with continued access to critical security, stability, data integrity and performance fixes for the full two years before this version reaches its end of life. It enables you to move quickly when a high-impact bug fix, or security fix is ported over and released for upgrading.
Bamboo 9.6 brings the familiar security and performance advantages typically associated with LTS releases, plus brand-new functionalities aimed at strengthening security and unlocking new performance benefits.
Check out just a few of the new features now available!
Strengthen security with user session invalidation: Invalidate user sessions directly from the administrative settings page or through the REST API. (9.3)
Connect to Atlassian cloud products with application tunnels: Securely connect Bamboo with other Atlassian cloud products using application tunnels and eliminate the need to open up your network to incoming connections. (9.3)
Safeguard your deployment environments against unapproved releases: Make sure that a bad release never takes down your whole production environment (or never does that again), deployment environments now let you set their release approval policy. (9.4)
Boost security with expiring personal access tokens: To further increase the security of personal access tokens, users of Bamboo can now set an automatic expiry date on the tokens they've created. (9.4)
Scale with ease using Ephemeral Kubernetes agents: Enjoy on-demand scalability and stronger security by starting each agent in a fresh environment. Use as many agents as needed at a given moment so that you don’t waste computing resources and other costs with idle agents. (9.3)
Improve your change detection performance: Use the new change detection algorithm to optimize resource distribution across multiple repositories and prevent thread pool exhaustion issues. (9.3)
Further, to help make Bamboo more accessible for all users, Bamboo 9.6 also includes:
Newly added missing ARIA roles
New alternative text
Labels for page elements
Updated legacy components with new, more accessible elements
We understand upgrades can take some planning, so here’s a round-up of resources to help you prepare:
Thanks for being part of our community!
