What technology are OpenShift Pipelines based on?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

OpenShift Pipelines are based on Tekton, an open-source framework for building Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines natively in Kubernetes.

Tekton provides Kubernetes-native CI/CD functionality by defining pipeline resources as custom resources (CRDs) in OpenShift. This allows for scalable, cloud-native automation of software delivery.

Why Tekton is Used in OpenShift Pipelines?

Kubernetes-Native: Unlike Jenkins, which requires external servers or agents, Tekton runs natively in OpenShift/Kubernetes.

Serverless & Declarative: Pipelines are defined using YAML configurations, and execution is event-driven.

Reusable & Extensible: Developers can define Tasks, Pipelines, and Workspaces to create modular workflows.

Integration with GitOps: OpenShift Pipelines support Argo CD for GitOps-based deployment strategies.

Example of a Tekton Pipeline Definition in OpenShift:

apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1

kind: Pipeline

metadata:

name: example-pipeline

spec:

tasks:

- name: echo-hello

taskSpec:

steps:

- name: echo

image: ubuntu

script: |

#!/bin/sh

echo 'Hello, OpenShift Pipelines!'

Explanation of Incorrect Answers:

A . Travis Incorrect

Travis CI is a cloud-based CI/CD service primarily used for GitHub projects, but it is not used in OpenShift Pipelines.

B . Jenkins Incorrect

OpenShift previously supported Jenkins-based CI/CD, but OpenShift Pipelines (Tekton) is now the recommended Kubernetes-native alternative.

Jenkins requires additional agents and servers, whereas Tekton runs serverless in OpenShift.

D . Argo CD Incorrect

Argo CD is used for GitOps-based deployments, but it is not the underlying technology of OpenShift Pipelines.

Tekton and Argo CD can work together, but Argo CD alone does not handle CI/CD pipelines.

Since OpenShift is an OpenShift-specific technology, I'm guessing the answer is likely to be a tool that is closely integrated with OpenShift. Tekton seems like the best fit based on the options provided.

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with OpenShift Pipelines, so I'll have to guess on this one. Maybe Jenkins since it's a popular CI/CD tool?
