Integrate security into development with Snyk, now a seamless part of Bitbucket Cloud

While PR analysis within Code Insights and Snyk Pipes are available to use right now, we're rolling out a native Security tab in Bitbucket Cloud. This will be a gradual rollout through the month of May so watch out for it in the left nav. We look forward to your feedback. Even small vulnerabilities can cost a team a lot. All too frequently we see news reports of organisations that mishandled their code & build level security, causing customer data to be exposed.

ITSM Email Requests in Jira Service Management

If your customers prefer to raise requests from their email, Jira Service Management can automatically receive those requests within your service project starting with just a few clicks. Emailed requests are added to your Jira Service Management queues, so teams focus on customers without worrying about missing requests or monitoring multiple inboxes.

What in the world is FinOps, and why do we need it?

In 2020, cloud migration sped up by a factor of 24, according to McKinsey. Would you be surprised to learn there were a lot of factors driving that shift? Due to COVID-19, companies needed to go remote fast and securely. They wanted to lift the maintenance burden off overworked IT teams. And, in the face of the year’s worldwide economic uncertainty, motivation to take advantage of cloud’s cost savings was running high.

ITSM Request Portal in Jira Service Management

At the heart of ITSM is the belief that IT should be delivered as a service. Day-to-day ITSM can be as simple as a request for new hardware or a collaborative response to reports of a business-critical outage. Customers submit requests through a custom Jira Service Management portal, filling out tickets with information tailored for an agile response, and simultaneously kicking off workflows. Tickets land in the IT team’s queue, where incoming requests are sorted and addressed.

Skipping artifact downloads in Bitbucket Pipelines

Allowing steps to skip downloading artifacts has been a highly requested feature from our customers. You can now disable artifact downloading on certain steps that do not require any artifacts, which will allow faster builds and can reduce your costs as a result. Disabling artifact downloads during a step is as easy as switching off a flag. Note that these steps can still produce artifacts to pass down to future steps.
