Anyone else trying to read this on mobile? The text is tiny and zooming in causes the side divs to expand and cover the main text. :(

Yes it is. but I can easily zoom and then read it easily

Firefox mobile's reading mode worked perfectly for me.

/vent I don't see what's interesting or really even positively relevant here in 2016. Jenkins was a very important part of what accelerated the early progression on high performance product delivery, but it's not exactly something to aspire to run, nor is it in any way a measure or sign of technological advance to be able or even suitable to run the application. I don't think any level of integration would make this favourable solution. One of Microsofts weaknesses that has only really recently become blatantly obvious publicly is their poor ability to integrate. Having a monopoly on file formats and the such got them a huge wave to ride but they are more of a holdings company stumbling than anything. Their offerings are less than nimble and news like this in 2016 only exists because they're reaching for any public opportunities to make themselves appear relevant. Just look at O365, SharePoint Online etc... They're truly awful to use if required to do so on a regular basis, the sheer latency of those product interfaces alone should be enough to make anyone weary but when you start digging into their network and see how broken their infrastructure is, is damn right scary. They fail to provide reliable network routes, have widespread internal DNS issues and data replication mismatches. Ending my rant here but it damn cheeses me when people fall for the flashy brochure - it's their job to take your money, that is the mission - they don't care about you. /vent

I just installed Jenkins 2 today and in my opinion, while it still has a way to go to meet the ease of use of best of the various SaaS options now available, it has improved leaps and bounds.

Which are the best of the SaaS options? Just curious -- I'm not happy with CircleCI or Travis right now.

If we are acting like this, then I use onenote for written math which google docs is fairly incapable of, also msft seems to take my privacy a bit more seriously, c.f. Timeline of fixes for logjam attack in popular browsers...

What equations are Google Docs "Insert Equation" feature incapable of? As for Microsoft taking your privacy more seriously are you implying that Google doesn't because I seem to recall Microsoft being the first company to sign up for a NSA membership in 2007.

Good news! Azure CDN integration for plugins will hopefully solve plugin repository outages that result in half-updates and pulled-out hair.

You could already run Jenkins on Azure just fine. This announces a business partnership but I don't understand what other implications there are.

It seems to me that the big three cloud providers are trying very hard to decommoditize themselves by becoming semi-proprietary platforms. In some cases, such as AWS databases or Microsoft's machine learning APIs, there is a lot of reality there. But in most other cases it's not terribly hard to achieve the same thing with open software on commodity cloud servers.
