## What it is
Blue Ocean is a suite of Jenkins plugins providing a redesigned, modern user experience for Jenkins CI/CD, focused on Pipeline visualization and editing. It is now deprecated and receives only selective security and defect fixes.

## Use cases
- visualize jenkins pipeline stages
- modern ui for jenkins ci/cd
- create and edit jenkins pipelines visually
- pipeline run details dashboard for jenkins

## When to choose
- you run an older Jenkins instance already using Blue Ocean
- you need the classic Blue Ocean pipeline visualization on an existing installation

## When to avoid
- starting a new Jenkins setup - use Pipeline Graph View or Pipeline Stage View instead
- you need new features or guaranteed security fixes after July 2026
