Overview
Operator pipelines is a Tekton based solution that serves as a CI/CD platform for Operators targeting Red Hat Openshift platform. The CI/CD process makes sure all operators available in the OCP met certain standards.
The series of pipelines validates the operator, tests it and make it available to all OCP users. In combination with Github repository users or partners are able to submit a new operator in Pull request workflow and release it.
Operator repositories
The Openshift platform include by default several catalogs from which users can install an operator. This CI/CD solution aims for Red Hat Partners or Community members. Thus there are 3 separate repositories where operator owner can submit operators. Each repository serves a different purpose and has its own specific rules but is shares the common CI/CD solution.
