DevOps / Bamboo: Continuous Integration & Deployment Interview Questions
How do you create a new plan in Bamboo?
Creating a plan is a short, fixed sequence in the Bamboo UI:
- Select an existing project, or create a new one to hold the plan.
- Click "Create plan," give it a name and a plan key.
- Link a repository (Bitbucket, Git, or another supported VCS).
- Add stages, then jobs within each stage, then tasks within each job (checkout, build, test, package).
- Configure a trigger, typically a repository push trigger.
- Enable the plan and run it manually the first time to confirm the configuration works.
The same result can be achieved without touching the UI at all by committing a Bamboo Specs file to the repository, which Bamboo picks up and turns into a plan automatically — the preferred approach once a team has more than a handful of plans to maintain.
After linking a repository, what is the next step in building out a new plan?
What's the preferred alternative to manually clicking through plan creation once a team has many plans?
