Bitbucket pipelines installation and deployment target via pipe to OpenShift

[Prasanna Sivaramakrishnan]

Hi All,

I am new to bitbucket pipelines and have some foundational questions.

My understanding is that bitbucket pipelines is part of bitbucket cloud (hosted service) and can't be installed on AKS or Azure VM? It can be used to deploy to AKS via pipe.

I am trying to use pipe feature in bitbucket pipelines to deploy to Azure red hat openshift -https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/openshift. I don't see anything available outside the box. Is this possible? what would be a alternate way to integrate bitbucket pipelines with Azure red hat openshift

Hello @Prasanna Sivaramakrishnan ,

and welcome to the Community!

Your understanding is correct. Pipelines is the bundled CI/CD solution of Bitbucket Cloud, where you can run your build in Atlassian Cloud (we manage the infrastructure for you) or use self-hosted runners (the build runs in your own infra).

To facilitate the integration with third-party tools/services, Bitbucket Cloud offers a series of pipes that can facilitate your workflow, such as the deployment. You can find a list of the available pipes in the following link : 

• Pipelines - Pipes 

While there's not a specific pipe for Azure OpenShift deployment at the moment, you may find other pipes that are applicable for your use case, such as the atlassian/kubectl-run that is a generic (not service-specific) pipe to deploy to Kubernetes environments.

Also, Atlassian pipes are open-source, so if you need a custom approach to pipes you can fork an existing pipe to make adjustments or create your own pipe.

I hope that helps! Let us know in case you have any questions.

Thank you, @Prasanna Sivaramakrishnan !
