Overview

Kubernetes-native pipeline resource on IBM Cloud

Open-source, vendor-neutral framework for building (CI/CD) systems, governed by the Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF). As a Kubernetes-native framework, it helps to modernize continuous delivery — making deployment across multiple cloud providers or hybrid environments faster and easier.

IBM provides a seamlessly managed CI/CD experience with Tekton pipelines in IBM Cloud® Continuous Delivery toolchains, so you can deliver cloud-native applications across multiple cloud providers or on-premises systems, monitored by an integrated dashboard.

Features

Build, automate, and scale Kubernetes pipelines

Easier, faster app deployment

Automated processes ensure consistency and reduce errors. Create cloud-native pipelines quickly across multiple cloud providers or hybrid environments.
Shared pipelines reduce complexity

Open-source components help standardize CI/CD tooling and processes across developers, projects and organizations, reducing rework and speeding development.
Runs on any Kubernetes environment

As a true open source solution, Tekton enables the creation of continuous delivery pipelines to deploy apps to any Kubernetes environment.
Kubernetes-native for agility and control

Tekton pipelines run on Kubernetes, use Kubernetes clusters as a first class type, and use containers as their building blocks.
