Openshift Pipelines move fast, build clean, and ship without fear.

They run on Tekton, the open-source framework built for building CI/CD systems in Kubernetes. Each pipeline is a series of tasks. Tasks define steps. Steps run in lightweight containers. Everything runs inside the cluster. There is no hidden build farm. No fragile runner on a random VM.

With Openshift Pipelines, you define workflow as code in YAML. Declarative pipelines mean you can version them, audit them, and roll them back. Every change is tracked. Configuration lives alongside application code. Your builds become predictable and repeatable across environments.

Integrations with Kubernetes and OpenShift are baked in. Pipelines scale with your clusters. They use persistent volume claims if you need state, or run stateless for maximum speed. Secrets, service accounts, and namespaces give you fine control over permissions and isolation.

Pipeline resources describe what the pipeline consumes and produces — source code repos, container images, or artifacts in storage. This keeps pipelines portable and self-contained. Tasks can be reused across projects. Reusability increases velocity without cutting discipline.

Build, test, and deploy stages run in parallel when possible. Triggers hook pipelines directly into events — new commits, tags, or merges. Every run is containerized, making it reproducible from scratch. You get consistency from local dev to production without special cases.

Openshift Pipelines also integrate with OpenShift’s Developer Console. You can start runs, inspect logs, see results, and debug directly in the UI. But the real power is running everything as Kubernetes-native resources. Pipelines become part of your GitOps strategy, matched to the same monitoring, RBAC, and deployment standards as your apps.

Security is first-class. Pipelines run with least privilege. Image builds can be scanned automatically. Rollouts can be gated by policy checks. Everything is defined, stored, and executed inside your OpenShift cluster, under your governance.

If you need pipelines that match the speed of your code and the rigor of your operations, Openshift Pipelines deliver both.
