By Steve Speicher and Serena Chechile Nichols January 15, 2020January 15, 2020

The developer experience is significantly improved in the Red Hat OpenShift 4.3 web console. If you have used the Developer perspective, which was introduced in OpenShift 4.2 Console, you are probably familiar with our streamlined user flows for deploying applications, the new Topology view, and the enhanced experience around OpenShift Pipelines powered by Tekton and OpenShift Serverless powered by Knative. This release continues to improve upon the features that were introduced in 4.2 and introduces new flows and features for the developer.

The new Tekton Pipelines extension for Visual Studio Code

By Denis Golovin and Lindsey Tulloch January 8, 2020January 7, 2020

The Tekton Project, which was announced in March after branching off from the Knative project, is creating excitement as a Kubernetes-native CI/CD pipeline tool.

It offers the flexibility and agnosticism that Kubernetes is celebrated for and is positioned to become the first open standardized engine for executing pipelines. Although the project is still in the early stages of development, we couldn’t wait to start making it easier for developers to jump on the Tekton train. Therefore in this article, we’ll take a quick look at the Tekton Pipelines extension and how to use it.

Building Declarative Pipelines with OpenShift DSL Plugin

By Siamak Sadeghianfar November 20, 2017November 20, 2017

Jenkinsfiles have only become a part of Jenkins since version 2 but they have quickly become the de-facto standard for building continuous delivery pipelines with Jenkins. Jenkinsfile allows defining pipelines as code using a groovy DSL syntax and checking it into source version control which allows you to track, review, audit and manage the lifecycle of changes to the continuous delivery pipelines the same way that you manage the source code of your application.

Although the groovy DSL syntax which is called the “scripted syntax” is the more well-known and established syntax for building Jenkins pipelines and was the default when Jenkins 2 was released. Support for a newer declarative syntax is also added since Jenkins 2.5 in order to offer a simplified way for controlling all aspects of the pipeline. Although the scripted and declarative syntax provides two ways to define your pipeline, they both translate to the same execution blocks in Jenkins and achieve the same result.
