Well looking at the core tech on fabric8.io it says that it has Jenkins, Nexus, Gogs and JBoss Forge for CI/CD templates, presumably integrated with Jenkins. Yet OpenShift has built-in Jenkins integration for making and promoting images there is a book “Devops On OpenShift” that RedHat let you download for free that covers that openshift.com/devops-with-openshift/. In our case we use GitHub private repos and CircleCI for continuous integration. We use OpenShift BuildConfig objects to make release builds that I will write about in my next post. We dont need to pay for capacity for running Jenkins as we dont need. Yet it is right there in the app catalog of the SaaS openshift or I can easily set it up on the free version as all the templates are open source. We don’t need Gogs use use GitHub. We don’t need Nexus. All our config and deployments are via git push and we can see what is going on with builds and deployments in the openshift console app.
If someone doesn’t have OKD (aka openshift) so they only have vanilla Kubernetes, and they cannot use SaaS for builds such as GitHub, Bitbucket Pipelines, GitLab, and they don't already have Cloudbees Enterprise Jenkins, Nexus Enterprise and GitHub Enterprise or Stash or GitLab on-prem, then perhaps fabric8 is a great start. The startup I set up the pipelines for uses SaaS openshift.com and can use SaaS circleci. All the big firms I have worked at have Cloudbees Enterprise Jenkins or Team City, and an entreprise Git solution. I am sure fabric8 is good but I would be surprised to find large or small companies using it.
