Until very recently, developers relied on third-party tools like Jenkins X to automate continuous integration and delivery pipelines. Jenkins X is a very capable CI/CD framework indeed, and it really simplifies the tasks associated with maintaining an efficient CI/CD pipeline.

The only real challenge when using Jenkins X or other similar tools is integrating the framework with Kubernetes natively. While it is easy to manage pipelines using external tools, managing them natively from within Kubernetes has always been a challenge.

That’s where Tekton comes in. In simple terms, Tekton is designed to make k8s-style resources for declaring CI/CD-style pipelines available natively, making the whole process of managing and automating CI/CD pipelines easier.
