What about Continuous Integration? Though I like the many options we now have to easily set-up some CI, a lot of entreprises still rely on old-fashioned on-premise CI. I can only wonder about the impact of depreciating Bamboo Cloud and what to use next.

I'm one of the Developer Advocates at Atlassian with a focus on the CI/CD space.

For "old-fashioned on-premise" CI/CD, Bamboo Server is still a solid offering from Atlassian, with active development on new features and support for existing ones. Discontinuing Bamboo Cloud is more about being able to "right-size" our cloud offerings so Atlassian can offer a CI/CD service for a team's first microservice deployed into AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and that scales up without overhead to many services each with many instances in a more complex environment like AWS ECS. And not just for AWS but for Azure, Google, Heroku, or whatever your choice of cloud platform. I believe Bitbucket Pipelines will be that next generation solution, while Bamboo will continue to serve on-premise needs for many years to come.

Nice to see you answering tehre :)

With Bamboo Cloud you were able to set up a pretty convenient "intermediate" solution, with Bamboo Cloud + an agent on your servers. Will it still be possible with Pipelines?

Also I couldn't find the doc for aggregating tests results.

Not so much. One of the things that I think makes Pipelines better suited for cloud is that it's agent-less. But that does mean there's no option to run an agent on-premise to bridge pipeline execution. Indeed, if you are accustomed to Bamboo, you are likely to find Bitbucket Pipelines rather minimalist. For example, there is currently no facility for aggregating test results.
