The Tekton Operator is a Kubernetes-native tool that simplifies the installation, upgrade, and management of Tekton Pipelines, Tekton Dashboard, and Tekton Triggers (and potentially other Tekton components) on any Kubernetes cluster. It leverages Kubernetes Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to define the desired state of these Tekton components, and the operator ensures that the actual state matches the desired state.

• **Kubernetes Custom Resources:** Utilizes Kubernetes manifests (CRDs) to configure and manage various Tekton components.
• **Simplified Installation and Management:** Automates the installation, upgrade, and configuration of Tekton components, reducing manual effort and potential errors.
• **Lifecycle Management:** Handles the lifecycle of Tekton components, including deployments, updates, and scaling.
• **Customization:** Supports customization of Tekton installations through configuration options within the CRDs.

• **Streamlined Tekton Deployment:** Simplifies the complex process of installing and configuring Tekton components.
• **Reduced Operational Overhead:** Automates Tekton management tasks, freeing up your team to focus on building and maintaining pipelines.
• **Improved Consistency:** Ensures consistent and repeatable Tekton deployments across different environments.
• **Open Source:** The Tekton Operator is an open-source project.

• **Installation:** Install the Tekton Operator using Helm or by applying the necessary manifests directly to your Kubernetes cluster.
• **Configuration:** Create `TektonConfig` and other component-specific CRDs to define the desired state of your Tekton installation.
• **Deployment:** The Tekton Operator will automatically install and configure the specified Tekton components based on your CRDs.
