It was a long journey, longer than it should have been, but we have finally reached our goal! Shipwright Build v0.6.0, our first release after joining the Continuous Delivery Foundation.
The feature list is impressive. It was hard to pick a "Top 3", but here are my choices:
We are pleased to announce that Shipwright is officially an Incubating Project under the Continous Delivery Foundation!
The Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF) seeks to improve the world's capacity to deliver software with security and speed. Shipwright furthers this mission by making it easy to build cloud native applications on cloud native infrastructure. The CDF is the upstream home for many other open source projects used to deliver software, such as Jenkins, Spinnaker, and Tekton. Together, we look forward to empowering develpers and enabling teams to build, test, and deploy their applications with confidence.
Gatekeeper is a customizable admission webhook for Kubernetes, which allows you to configure policy over what resources can be created in the cluster. In particular, we can use Gatekeeper to add policy to Shipwright Builds. In this example, you can see how you can use a policy to control what source repositories Shipwright is allowed to build, so that you can have more control over what code executes inside your cluster.
What is Shipwright? Which problems does this project try to solve?
In Part 1 of this series, we looked back at the history of delivering software applications, and how that has changed in the age of Kubernetes and cloud-native development.
In this post, we'll introduce Shipwright and the Build APIs that make it simple to build container images on Kubernetes.
