RHBA-2021:5145 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines 1.6.1 General Availability release - A cloud-native Continuous Integration and Delivery solution on OpenShift.

Description

Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines is a cloud-native continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) solution for building pipelines using Tekton. Tekton is a flexible, Kubernetes-native, open-source, CI/CD framework, which enables automating deployments across multiple platforms (Kubernetes, Serverless, VMs, etc.) by abstracting away the underlying details.

Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines 1.6.1 consists of:

• Tekton Pipelines 0.28.2
• Tekton Triggers 0.16.1
• ClusterTasks based on Tekton Catalog 0.28
• Tekton tkn CLI 0.21.0

## Features

• Standard CI/CD pipelines definition
• Build images with Kubernetes tools such as S2I, Buildah, Buildpacks, Kaniko, etc.
• Deploy applications to multiple platforms such as Kubernetes, Serverless, and VMs
• Easy to extend and integrate with existing tools
• Scale pipelines on-demand
• Portable across any Kubernetes platform
• Designed for microservices and decentralized teams
• Integrated with OpenShift Developer Console

## Fixed Issues

The following improvements are made in Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines 1.6.1:

• The SSL_CERT_DIR environment variable (/tekton-custom-certs) set by Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines will not override the following system default directories with certificate files:
• /etc/pki/tls/certs
• /etc/ssl/certs
• /system/etc/security/cacerts
• The Horizontal Pod Autoscaler can manage the replica count of deployments controlled by the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator. From this release onward, the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator will not reset the replica count of deployments managed by it, if the count is changed by an end user or an on cluster agent. However, the replicas will be reset when you upgrade the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator.
• The pod serving the tkn CLI will now be scheduled on nodes, based on the node selector and toleration limits specified in the TektonConfig custom resources.
