Written by Tekton | Apr 10, 2024 4:58:57 PM

 

Overview

Tekton is designed to work with Google Cloud Kubernetes technology. This includes Google Kubernetes Engine deployments as well as Container Registry storage and artifact analysis. You may also build, test, and deploy in a variety of settings, such as virtual machines, serverless environments, Kubernetes, and Firebase.

As a Kubernetes-native open-source framework, Tekton is robust and versatile, allowing you to build continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) systems. You will be able to build, test, and deploy to multiple cloud service providers or on-premise systems without having to worry about the underlying implementation.

Standardize your CI/CD tools

Tekton offers open-source components to assist you in standardizing and to adapt your CI/CD processes and tools to diverse suppliers, languages, and deployment environments. Tekton's industry specifications for processing flows, versioning, workflows, and other CI/CD components are compatible with current CI/CD technologies such as Jenkins, Jenkins X, Skaffold, Knative, and others.

Kubernetes Best Practices Integrated

Best practices integrated with Tekton can help you rapidly determine cloud-native CI/CD processing processes.

The goal is to make it easier for developers to produce and deploy immutable images, manage version control in infrastructure, and do restores.

You can also employ sophisticated deployment patterns like continuous deployment, blue-green or Canary deployment, or the GitOps process with Tekton.

It can be used in hybrid or multi-cloud setups

In addition to virtual machines, serverless environments, Kubernetes, and Firebase, Tekton facilitates development, testing, and deployment across an extensive variety of platforms. Its processing duties can also be used to deploy to several cloud service providers or hybrid environments.

Enjoy maximum flexibility

With Tekton, you may use any CI/CD technology that you prefer to create processing flows that are both efficient and flexible. It simplifies the underlying implementation while allowing you to use development, testing, and deployment processes based on the needs of your team.
