DevOps / Bamboo: Continuous Integration & Deployment Interview Questions

What is the difference between Bamboo and Bitbucket Pipelines?

Both come from Atlassian and both can build code pushed to Bitbucket, but they're built on very different operating models.

Bamboo	Bitbucket Pipelines
Self-hosted (Data Center); you install, patch, and scale the server and agents.	Fully managed by Atlassian in Bitbucket Cloud, no server to maintain.
Configuration via UI or Specs, agents you provision yourself.	Configuration entirely via a bitbucket-pipelines.yml file, containers provisioned on demand.
Deployment projects with per-environment permissions and approval gates.	Deployments defined as steps in the same YAML, lighter-weight environment controls.
Licensed per remote agent, sold only to existing customers.	Priced by build minutes consumed.

In short, Bamboo suits teams that need on-premises control, heavier governance, or already run Bitbucket Server/Data Center; Pipelines suits Bitbucket Cloud teams that want a zero-maintenance, YAML-only pipeline.
