Tools

• CircleCI - CircleCI is a continuous integration and delivery platform. The CNB project maintains an integration, called an orb, which allows users to run pack commands inside their pipelines.
• GitLab - Gitlab is a web based DevOps platform. It uses pack as part of the Auto DevOps feature, to build applications prior to deploying them.
• kpack - kpack is a Kubernetes native platform maintained by VMware under the VMware Tanzu project that utilizes unprivileged Kubernetes primitives to provide builds of OCI images as a platform implementation of Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNB).
• Pack - Pack is a tool maintained by the Cloud Native Buildpacks project to support the use of buildpacks.
• Tekton - Tekton is an open-source CI/CD system platform implementation running on k8s. There are two Tekton tasks maintained by the CNB project, both of which use the lifecycle directly (i.e. they do not use pack).
