What Is Tekton?
Kubernetes is the de-facto standard for running cloud-native applications. While Kubernetes is very flexible and powerful, deploying applications is sometimes challenging for developers. That’s why several platforms and tools have evolved that aim to make deployments of applications easier, for example, Cloud Foundry’s ‘cf push’ experience, OpenShift’s source to image (S2I), various Maven plugins and different CI/CD systems.
Similarly, as Kubernetes has evolved to be the standard for running containers and similarly as Knative is evolving to become the standard for serverless platforms, the goal of Tekton is to become the standard for continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) platforms.
