Use Docker in builds and deployments
We've added Docker support to Bamboo builds and deployments, so now you can create images and run containers directly from Bamboo. Just configure the Docker task in Bamboo to perform these actions:
- Build a Docker image
- Run a Docker container
- Push a Docker repository to a Docker registry

Improved integration with AWS
We've now made the public Atlassian elastic images for Bamboo available in all Amazon Web Services regions.
Ubuntu Bamboo elastic images are available in all regions, while in the US East region we also provide Amazon Linux and Windows images.
Furthermore, Elastic Bamboo has improved scaling by switching automatically between Availability Zones to start agents if there are no resources available in a particular zone.
