The problem with CloudBees is that when you merge it, the pipelines would randomly fail multiple times.
Swati Priya - PeerSpot reviewer
Aug 23, 2024
We've noticed occasional issues with folder permissions changing unexpectedly. Specifically, permissions sometimes shift from the CloudBees user to the root user. This can cause pipeline failures, as pipelines require the correct CloudBees user permissions to execute properly.
