1장. About CI/CD

Builds using Shipwright is an extensible build framework based on the Shipwright project. You can use it to build container images on an OpenShift Container Platform cluster. You can build container images from source code and Dockerfile by using image build tools, such as Source-to-Image (S2I) and Buildah.

For more information, see builds for Red Hat OpenShift.

Builds using BuildConfig objects is a declarative build process to create cloud-native apps. You can define the build process in a YAML file that you use to create a BuildConfig object. This definition includes attributes such as build triggers, input parameters, and source code. When deployed, the BuildConfig object builds a runnable image and pushes the image to a container image registry. With the BuildConfig object, you can create a Docker, Source-to-image (S2I), or custom build.
