OpenShift Pipelines are cloud-native, continuous integration and delivery solutions based on Kubernetes resources. It uses Tekton Pipelines to automate deployments across multiple platforms by abstracting away the underlying details. Tekton introduces a number of standard Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) for defining pipelines that are portable across Kubernetes distributions.

  • OpenShift Pipelines are designed for microservices and decentralized teams.

  • OpenShift Pipelines uses standard CI/CD pipeline definitions that are easy to extend and integrate with existing Kubernetes tools, enabling you to scale on-demand.

  • You can use them to build images with Kubernetes tools such as Source-to-Image (S2I), Buildah, Buildpacks, and Kaniko and are portable across any Kubernetes platform.

  • You can use the OpenShift Developer Console to create Tekton resources, view logs of pipeline runs, and manage pipelines under OpenShift project namespaces.
