Kubernetes (K8s) is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. Kubernetes builds upon 15 years of experience of running production workloads at Google, combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community. Designed on the same principles that allows Google to run billions of containers a week, Kubernetes can scale without increasing your ops team. Whether testing locally or running a global enterprise, Kubernetes flexibility grows with you to deliver your applications consistently and easily no matter how complex your need is. Kubernetes is open source giving you the freedom to take advantage of on-premises, hybrid, or public cloud infrastructure, letting you effortlessly move workloads to where it matters to you.

Learn about Firebase projects, including concept overviews, deep-dives into topics like project permissions and project management tools, or preparing to launch your app.

GitLab is a complete DevOps platform. With GitLab, you get a complete CI/CD toolchain out-of-the-box. One interface. One conversation. One permission model. GitLab is a complete DevOps platform, delivered as a single application, fundamentally changing the way Development, Security, and Ops teams collaborate. GitLab helps teams accelerate software delivery from weeks to minutes, reduce development costs, and reduce the risk of application vulnerabilities while increasing developer productivity. Source code management enables coordination, sharing and collaboration across the entire software development team. Track and merge branches, audit changes and enable concurrent work, to accelerate software delivery. Review code, discuss changes, share knowledge, and identify defects in code among distributed teams via asynchronous review and commenting. Automate, track and report code reviews.

The leading open source automation server, Jenkins provides hundreds of plugins to support building, deploying and automating any project. As an extensible automation server, Jenkins can be used as a simple CI server or turned into the continuous delivery hub for any project. Jenkins is a self-contained Java-based program, ready to run out-of-the-box, with packages for Windows, Linux, macOS and other Unix-like operating systems. Jenkins can be easily set up and configured via its web interface, which includes on-the-fly error checks and built-in help. With hundreds of plugins in the Update Center, Jenkins integrates with practically every tool in the continuous integration and continuous delivery toolchain. Jenkins can be extended via its plugin architecture, providing nearly infinite possibilities for what Jenkins can do. Jenkins can easily distribute work across multiple machines, helping drive builds, tests and deployments across multiple platforms faster.

Tekton is a cloud-native solution for building CI/CD systems. It consists of Tekton Pipelines, which provides the building blocks, and of supporting components, such as Tekton CLI and Tekton Catalog, that make Tekton a complete ecosystem. Tekton standardizes CI/CD tooling and processes across vendors, languages, and deployment environments. It works well with Jenkins, Jenkins X, Skaffold, Knative, and many other popular CI/CD tools. Tekton abstracts the underlying implementation so that you can choose the build, test, and deploy workflow based on your team’s requirements. Tekton lets you create CI/CD systems quickly, giving you scalable, serverless, cloud native execution out of the box.

Simplify your MLOps pipelines. Manage, deploy, and scale on any infrastructure with ZenML. ZenML is completely free and open-source. See the magic with just two simple commands. Set up ZenML in a matter of minutes, and start with all the tools you already use. ZenML standard interfaces ensure that your tools work together seamlessly. Gradually scale up your MLOps stack by switching out components whenever your training or deployment requirements change. Keep up with the latest changes in the MLOps world and easily integrate any new developments. Define simple and clear ML workflows without wasting time on boilerplate tooling or infrastructure code. Write portable ML code and switch from experimentation to production in seconds. Manage all your favorite MLOps tools in one place with ZenML's plug-and-play integrations. Prevent vendor lock-in by writing extensible, tooling-agnostic, and infrastructure-agnostic code.

Knative, created originally by Google with contributions from over 50 different companies, delivers an essential set of components to build and run serverless applications on Kubernetes. Knative offers features like scale-to-zero, autoscaling, in-cluster builds, and eventing framework for cloud-native applications on Kubernetes. Whether on-premises, in the cloud, or in a third-party data center, Knative codifies the best practices shared by successful real-world Kubernetes-based frameworks. Most importantly, Knative enables developers to focus on writing code without the need to worry about the “boring but difficult” parts of building, deploying, and managing their application.

Automate the continuous delivery of change through your environments via GitOps and create previews on pull requests to help you accelerate. Rather than having to have deep knowledge of Kubernetes, containers, or Tekton, Jenkins X will automate awesome Tekton pipelines for your projects that fully implement CI and CD which you can manage via GitOps. Each team gets a set of environments. Jenkins X then automates the management of the environments and the promotion of new versions of applications between environments via GitOps and pull requests. Jenkins X automatically spins up preview environments for your pull requests so you can get fast feedback before changes are merged to the main branch. Jenkins X automatically comments on your commits, issues, and pull requests with feedback as code is ready to be previewed, is promoted to environments, or if pull requests are generated automatically to upgrade versions.
