In their own words
AWS CodeBuild
AWS CodeBuild is a paid, cloud-hosted continuous integration service for compiling, testing, and packaging code from build scripts. It provisions and scales build capacity automatically, so projects do not require users to manage build servers. Preconfigured environments cover Java, Python, Node.js, Ruby, Go, Android, .NET Core for Linux, and Docker; teams can also supply Docker-based environments. A YAML build specification defines commands for each build phase and other settings. Builds can start from CodeCommit, GitHub, GitHub Enterprise, Bitbucket, Amazon S3, or CodePipeline, and can work with Jenkins. Artifacts can be stored in S3 or sent to an artifact repository. IAM provides access controls, while KMS keys encrypt artifacts. Build timing, status, commit ID, metrics, and logs are available through the service and CloudWatch, with SNS event notifications. A free plan provides stated monthly allowances; paid usage starts at 0.01 USD and can add charges for data transfer and related AWS services.
CloudBees CI
CloudBees CI is a centrally managed Jenkins environment for teams delivering continuous integration at scale. It can run on-premise or in the public cloud, with a modern cloud platform designed for Kubernetes and a traditional platform edition. Operations Center provides a central view across CI controllers. Pipeline capabilities include complex delivery pipelines, declarative syntax, and builds that can survive controller and agent failures. The CloudBees Assurance Program vets plugins, while Beekeeper helps administrators monitor and manage plugin upgrades. Documented integrations include GitHub and Bitbucket, plus Slack and Microsoft Teams. Security options include central management, role-based access control, single sign-on, and connections to external credential stores such as CyberArk and HashiCorp Vault. CloudBees CI is paid, with pricing available on request, and has no free plan. 24/7 expert support depends on the customer’s support agreement. CloudBees support policies cover only CloudBees-certified plugins on services based on Jenkins core.
