Knative build
This repository contains a work-in-progress build system that is designed to address a common need for cloud native development.
A Knative build extends Kubernetes and utilizes existing Kubernetes primitives to provide you with the ability to run on-cluster container builds from source. For example, you can write a build that uses Kubernetes-native resources to obtain your source code from a repository, build a container image, then run that image.
While Knative builds are optimized for building, testing, and deploying source code, you are still responsible for developing the corresponding components that:
- Retrieve source code from repositories.
- Run multiple sequential jobs against a shared filesystem, for example:
- Install dependencies.
- Run unit and integration tests.
- Build container images.
- Push container images to an image registry, or deploy them to a cluster.
The goal of a Knative build is to provide a standard, portable, reusable, and performance optimized method for defining and running on-cluster container image builds. By providing the “boring but difficult” task of running builds on Kubernetes, Knative saves you from having to independently develop and reproduce these common Kubernetes-based development processes.
While today, a Knative build does not provide a complete standalone CI/CD solution, it does however, provide a lower-level building block that was purposefully designed to enable integration and utilization in larger systems.
