Interesting annoucement, I'd like it better if there was a clear comparison between the current possibilities offered by Jenkins 2.0 and this version of Jenkins.

I'm not huge fan of the demo video, since it doesn't really handle what I can only imagine is a very common use case : I already have a Jenkins 2.0 instance with Jenkinsfiles, how easy would it be to migrate to Jenkins X ? Is it isofunctional with added capabilities ? How much will I lose ?

Bootstrapping a java spring app from scratch is fun, but I suspect most people have an already existing codebase with already existing CI/CD tools.

I'm leery of projects whose goal is make bootstrapping easier. Bootstrapping projects has generally gotten easier and easier and was never a real bottleneck. Projects spend 99% of their lifetime in development and maintenance so those are the parts that need the most help.

That’s a great point. This blog tries to compare Jenkins X versus Jenkins 2.0: https://dzone.com/articles/jenkins-x-the-good-bad-and-ugly

It’s mostly about automation of install, configuration, environments, pipelines & promotion with GitOps and more feedback.

Just out of interest what kind of demo would you like to see?
