1. Background 1.1 Problems with the Current Use of Jenkins The orchestration engine is unstable Jenkins is an orchestration engine written in Java, and it stops the world (STW) during a full GC. Under large-scale builds, STW can prevent Jenkins from handling new requests. Heavy builds stall Jenkins stores data in disk files; every pipeline and every build occupies a file directory, producing a huge number of files.

1. The Advantages of Multi-Cluster Tekton Builds Thanks to Kubernetes, Tekton already has good elasticity and can support large-scale builds. At the same time, developing Tasks mainly uses Yaml and Shell, which widens the range of scenarios Tekton can adapt to. The figure above is a sketch of Tekton across multiple clusters.

1. Basic Features of a CICD Platform A common CICD engine is not suitable to hand directly to the business side. The main reasons are the high learning cost for users, the lack of necessary authentication, and the difficulty of maintenance and upgrades. We usually build on top of a process engine, adapting it to the business to improve usability and encapsulating it for specific scenarios to reduce complexity.

1. Background As shown above, the business team needs to isolate the services in a namespace, forbidding access from workloads in the bar namespace while allowing users to reach the service through a Load Balancer (LB) via NodePort. It is easy to write a network policy: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 apiVersion: networking.

No. 1. Background When building a reliable, stable operations system on top of Kubernetes, destroying and creating virtual machines (VMs) is the norm. VMs provide compute and memory resources, while external storage is exposed to PVCs in the cluster through a StorageClass. Against this backdrop, how to initialize a VM quickly becomes a new challenge.
