Modern CI/CD with Tekton and Prow Automated via Jenkins X
summary
Integrates Tekton pipelines and Prow via Jenkins X to replace JVM-based Jenkins jobs with containerized CRD-driven pipelines, claiming 60–80 repos dogfooded and lower cost and better reliability. Describes five Tekton CRDs (Step/Task/Pipeline/TaskRun/PipelineRun), the hack of running all step containers in one pod with a wrapper binary, sidecar coordination via the downward API, and three approaches for passing task outputs (PVCs, blob upload, co-scheduling). Shows automated PR-triggered builds and dynamic preview environments that work in the demo.
