The CNCF Technical Oversight Committee<\/a> (TOC) has voted to accept Tekton as a CNCF incubating project. But what is Tekton?<\/span><\/p>\n

Tekton is a flexible open source framework for creating continuous integration and delivery (CI\/CD) systems. It is used to enable developers to build, test, and deploy across multiple cloud providers and on-premises systems by abstracting away the underlying implementation details.<\/span><\/p>\n

No doubt attracted by Tekton\u2019s Kubernetes-native DNA, Tekton is distinguished by its ability to operate entirely inside a Kubernetes cluster. It is capable of treating pipelines (which, in this case, we can define as workflow-based collections of tasks arranged in a graph either in sequential or parallel order) as standard Kubernetes resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

In short, we can say that Tekton serves as a general-purpose, security-minded, Kubernetes-native workflow engine. Where CI\/CD tools (such as Jenkins, the widely popularized automation tool) may require a dedicated server, Tekton\u2019s K8S pedigree means that it doesn\u2019t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Composable Primitives\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Its composable primitives (steps, tasks and pipelines) allow developers to orchestrate any type of sequential or parallel workload on Kubernetes. Tekton provides a standard, Kubernetes-native interface for defining these workflows, making them portable and reusable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tekton wasn\u2019t initially its own standalone project or technology codebase; instead, it started life back in 2018 as a component of Knative (a Kubernetes-based platform for serverless workloads) and was called <\/span>knative\/build<\/span> before being renamed in the same year.<\/span><\/p>\n

As the project itself has matured into a fully-blown framework for Kubernetes-native CI\/CD, reaching its stable v1.0 release for the core \u201cPipelines\u201d component, i.e., the core components and building blocks required to build a CI\/CD system \u2013 and Tekton Pipelines works by adding custom resources to a Kubernetes cluster.<\/span><\/p>\n

By joining the CNCF as an Incubating Project, Tekton aligns itself more closely with the ecosystem it powers. It integrates deeply with other CNCF projects like Argo CD (for GitOps) and SPIFFE\/SPIRE (for identity), and also Sigstore via OpenSSF (for signing and verification), creating a robust supply chain security story.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the accomplishments I\u2019m most proud of is the broad adoption of Tekton across open source projects, commercial products, and in-house platforms. Seeing teams rely on it in production and build on it within their own ecosystems has been especially rewarding. As a Kubernetes-native project that integrates naturally with other CNCF technologies, Tekton has benefited from close collaboration within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation community,\u201d said Andrea Frittoli, Tekton governing board member.<\/span><\/p>\n
