## What is Prow?

[Prow](https://github.com/kubernetes/test-infra/tree/master/prow) is a **Kubernetes**-based CI/CD system

**Jobs** can be triggered by various types of events and report their status to many different services.

In addition to job execution, Prow provides **GitHub automationn** in the form of policy enforcement, chat-ops via `/foo` style commands, and automatic PR merging.

Microservices architecture provides the core components that you
need and allows for **extendability and replacement**.

The Kubernetes project does a lot of testing, on the **order of 10000 jobs per day** covering everything from build and unit tests, to **end-to-end testing** on real clusters deployed from source all the way up to **~5000 node** scalability and performance tests.

## Prow/plank

Controller that manages job execution and lifecycle of
kubernetes jobs.

spec:
  agent: kubernetes
  cluster: default
  context: test-pod
  job: test-pod
  namespace: prow-msshin-test-pods
  pod_spec:
    containers:

## Prow/deck

---

## Prow/sinker

- Clean up
- Deletes completed prow jobs & pods

---

## Prow/hook

- It is a stateless server that listens for GitHub webhooks and dispatches them to the appropriate plugins. 
- Hook's plugins are used to trigger jobs, implement 'slash' commands, post to Slack, and more.

  - name: bar-job         # As for periodics.
    decorate: true        # As for periodics.
    spec: {}              # As for periodics.
    max_concurrency: 10   # Run no more than this number concurrently.
    branches:             # Regexps, only run against these branches.

## Tekton pipeline controller in Prow

```yml
postsubmits:
  - name: hello-pipeline
    agent: tekton-pipeline
    namespace: test-pods
    labels:
      anarcher.dev/job: prow
    pipeline_run_spec:
      pipelineRef:
        name: hello
      resources:
      - name: source-repo
        resourceRef:
          name: PROW_IMPLICIT_GIT_REF
      - name: docker-image
        resourceRef:
          name: test-image
    branches:
    - ^master$
```

---

## Prow/pipeline

- Pipeline controller makes  `tekton/PipelineRun ` and `tekton/PipelineResource` (git resource references)

- reference values in `pipeline_run_spec` git resource references like `PROW_IMPLICIT_GIT_REF` will be substituted for the actual resource names by the controller before the pipelinerun is created.

```yml
resources:
- name: source-repo
  resourceRef:
    name: PROW_IMPLICIT_GIT_REF
```
