    • QUOTE: ... Finally, let’s have a look at Jenkins X. CloudBees is the driving force behind this elaborate approach towards a fully-fledged cloud-native CI/CD tool. To make it happen, the creators rely on tools that are already solving parts of the big puzzle that is cloud-native CI/CD. From Skaffold and Draft to Helm and Prow, every tool you probably heard of at the latest KubeCon has its place in Jenkins X. Don’t know what any of those do? Well, according to Jenkins X, you don’t need to. ...

      ... This tool is so Kubernetes, it doesn’t even have its own repository yet. Prow is located in a subdirectory under github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/, and, spoiler alert, that’s what it does: This is Kubernetes’ very own CI tool, primarily responsible for testing and managing merge requests. As Prow consists of many microservices, the name game is stepped up once more. We have:

      • hook, which listens to incoming GitHub webhooks,
      • tide, which merges approved PRs,
      • sinker, which cleans up resources that are no longer needed.
    • All these are running as containers in a Kubernetes cluster. The ProwJob CRD, which represents the life of a webhook trigger in the Prow ecosystem, is essential as well.
