Tekton Plans Pricing
Tekton is open-source software (Apache License 2.0) and a CNCF Incubating project. There is no commercial billing surface published by the Tekton project itself — the software is free to download, install, and run on any Kubernetes cluster. Commercial offerings layered on Tekton (Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines, IBM Cloud Continuous Delivery, Jenkins X, Pipelines-as-Code on managed cloud platforms) are provided by 3rd-party vendors and have their own billing surfaces. Those vendor plans are out of scope of this Tekton profile.
Tekton Plans Pricing is the machine-readable pricing-plan profile for Tekton on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Plans specification.
It defines 2 plans, covering free and external tiers, with named plans including Open Source (Apache 2.0), Third-Party Distributions and Managed Offerings (Reference).
Tagged areas include DevOps, CI/CD, Kubernetes, CNCF, and Open Source.
Plans
Tekton Pipelines, Triggers, Chains, Results, Operator, Dashboard, CLI, Catalog, and Hub are licensed under Apache 2.0 and are freely available. Users provide their own Kubernetes cluster; running Tekton incurs only the underlying Kubernetes infrastructure cost.
