Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines
What it is
Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines is a cloud-native CI/CD solution for automating application delivery on Red Hat OpenShift. Built on Tekton, it defines pipelines using Kubernetes resources and standard Tekton custom resource definitions, supporting portable pipeline definitions. Pipeline runs execute in isolated containers with their dependencies and can scale on demand. The product supports decentralized teams working on microservice-based architectures. The OpenShift Developer console can create Tekton resources, show pipeline run logs, and manage pipelines within namespaces. Documented image-building tools include Source-to-Image, Buildah, Buildpacks, and Kaniko. Red Hat lists integrations with Tekton Pipelines, Tekton Triggers, Tekton Chains, Tekton Results, and OpenShift GitOps. Workflows can be versioned and audited in alignment with GitOps practices. Red Hat describes hardened security and a Trusted Supply Chain framework intended to support integrity and conformity with SLSA levels. OpenShift Pipelines is available with a Red Hat OpenShift subscription and included in OpenShift Container Platform. The documented CI/CD system runs on OpenShift Container Platform. Pricing is on request; the Developer Sandbox offers a 30-day trial that includes it.
