Tekton Pipelines

The Tekton Pipelines project provides k8s-style resources for declaring CI/CD-style pipelines.

Tekton Pipelines are Cloud Native:

• Run on Kubernetes
• Have Kubernetes clusters as a first class type
• Use containers as their building blocks

Tekton Pipelines are Decoupled:

• One Pipeline can be used to deploy to any k8s cluster
• The Tasks which make up a Pipeline can easily be run in isolation
• Resources such as git repos can easily be swapped between runs

Tekton Pipelines are Typed:

• The concept of typed resources means that for a resource such as an Image, implementations can easily be swapped out (e.g. building with kaniko v.s. buildkit)
