DevOps / Bamboo: Continuous Integration & Deployment Interview Questions

List the version control systems Bamboo supports?

Bamboo connects directly to the major version control systems used in enterprise environments, most commonly through Bitbucket Server/Data Center but also via direct repository connections:

  • Git (including Bitbucket, GitHub, and generic Git remotes) — the most common choice today.
  • Mercurial
  • Subversion (SVN)
  • Perforce
  • CVS — legacy support, rarely used in new setups.

For interview purposes, the practical answer is: any team already on Bitbucket gets the deepest integration (pull request builds, commit-linked issues), while other VCS types work through a generic repository connection with fewer built-in extras.

Which version control system gives the deepest native integration with Bamboo?
Which VCS type is described as legacy and rarely used in new Bamboo setups?
