While Kubernetes has grown to become the defacto container orchestration platform; it still misses one crucial capability, the ability to build container images, in-cluster and at scale. This gap in capability means that the critical job of building secure, production-ready container images is still left to the random developer and their favorite desktop tooling (e.g. Docker Desktop). Although the ecosystem had provided various solutions, 99% of those solutions were still missing a key attribute, that of “being Kubernetes native”.

Get started using Tekton; in this article, we provide step-by-stop instructions for installing Tekton on Red Hat OpenShift.

Learn how to create a Kubernetes-native CI/CD pipeline by installing Tekton, creating Tasks, and then creating your own pipeline Tekton Pipeline.

In this video, Daniel walks you through using the OpenShift Tekton pipeline tutorial. He is using version 0.4.0.

Argo CD is a declarative, GitOps continuous delivery tool for Kubernetes. It follows the GitOps pattern of using Git repositories as the source of truth for defining the desired application state. It automates the deployment of the desired application states in the specified target environments. Application deployments can track updates to branches, tags, or pinned to a specific version of manifests at a Git commit.

This guide helps you get started with ArgoCD and GitOps with OpenShift.
