Clarive Community Cloud now available with Clarive 7

Code, track and deploy your software releases with Clarive. Get your own cloud instance right now.

We’re proud to announce the launching of our community cloud instances.

Our community cloud instance is completely free of charge and runs on an dedicated AWS instance and database, preinstalled with Clarive Standard Edition 7.0.8. The instance is limited to 25 users or nodes, which should be more than enough for most teams.

What’s Inside Clarive SE

If you are asking what’s inside the box, here’s a quick overview:

• A git repository manager with unlimited private repositories
• Auto topic-branch management
• Issue tracking (we call them topics), with scrum and kanban
• A unique kanban UI, with swimlanes and backlog management
• A release management workflow
• CI/CD: continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines that run in your Clarive cloud instance
• Deployment environment management
• Dashboarding
• Event rules
• Customizable form fields

Here are a few getting started steps:

1. Get your free instance here.
2. Once you get the activation email, login.
3. Create a new Project.
4. Create a Feature topic in the project ⇒ this will create a branch
5. git clone https://[your-instance]/git/[your project]/[your repo]
6. Code and push.
7. Repeat!

Yet Another Platform?

But why would you need Clarive SE over most of the solutions out there?

What we offer is a unique end-to-end DevOps solution that implements a unified topic-based DevOps workflow.

Clarive SE should interest you if:

• You are looking for an end-to-end DevOps solution, from code to track to test and deploy.

• You want to code your CI/CD logic into your repository (with YAML or any programming language) and not depend on separate pipeline management done by tools like Jenkins or Bamboo.

• You want your CI/CD to run in our cloud server… then deploy to yours.

• You always wanted to build projects that are multi-repository

• You think Git branching and issue tracking should work seamless as one, not 2 separate entities.

Under the hood

Once on your cloud server you’ll find a complete CI/CD pipeline platform based on Docker. Every pipeline in Clarive job runs in a docker container of your choice.

Containers Everywhere

Pipeline containers runs in the Clarive cloud server, every time you request a docker container it will be downloaded from the Docker Hub and installed in the server permanently.

build:
   - image: node
   - webpack ./app.js dist/bundle.js
   - image: pybuilder
   - pyb

deploy:
   - ship:
       host: prodserver
       from: "dist/bundle.js
       to: "/opt/app/{{ env }}/"

/provision_aws:
   - echo: "instance type={{ ctx.request('params').type }}"
   - image: aws

All shell commands will run against the container. You can read more in the rulebooks documentation.

Upgrading

If you run out of users or nodes, or just want more power or storage to manage your code and run CI/CD, our team edition is the most affordable end-to-end solution in the market right now.

All our editions are available on-premise as well, in case you prefer to host your own Clarive.

For ultimate flexibility and customization you can upgrade to Clarive EE, a full-fledged Application Delivery platform that adds:

• Visual rule designer for creating custom workflows, topic categories and complex release orchestration

• Custom reporting and insights

• Role-based predefined dashboard designer

• Step-by-step pipeline debugging

• And an assortment of change providers, including SVN, Visual Studio, SAP, Salesforce, Siebel, Mainframe and other change sources through our enterprise connectors.

The Clarive Community Cloud is currently in beta while we test the new provisioning infrastructure and machine configurations.
