CI/CD

CNCF covers CI needs for hosted projects. Projects choose their own CI platform; CNCF staff recommend GitHub Actions where possible.

Available options

Option	What you get	How to get it
GitHub Actions on CNCF's GitHub Enterprise	Larger runners, and runners hosted across environments using Actions Runner Controller	CNCF Service Desk
Prow GitHub Actions	Prow-style chat-ops (`/lgtm`, `/approve`, `/retest`, `/ok-to-test`), reviewers from OWNERS files, automatic merging, and label sync, running as a GitHub Actions workflow. Maintained by CNCF staff.	Add the workflow to your repository. See Get started.
Prow	The Kubernetes-based CI system used by Kubernetes	CNCF Service Desk
Other CI platforms	Projects may use the platform that fits their needs	CNCF Service Desk

@cncf/prow-github-actions brings Prow's chat-ops and project management to a GitHub Actions workflow, with no cluster to run.

Copy templates/workflow-templates/prow.yml to .github/workflows/prow.yml. If your policy forbids pull_request_target, use prow-pull-request.yml instead.
Run the label-sync job once from Actions → Prow → Run workflow so the labels exist.
Optional: add a prow.yaml to the repository, or to your organization's .github repository, for label families and needs-* rules.
