Overview

This section contains information on installing and administering Vela.

Vela is an open-source, Pipeline Automation (CI/CD) platform built on Linux container technology.

A Vela cluster is deployed as a self-hosted solution and consists of two core services, the server and the worker. The relationship between these services is considered many-to-many meaning many workers can connect to many servers.

The server is considered the brains of the application while the worker is considered the brawn of the application.

An optional third service, the UI, can also be deployed but is not required for the Vela platform to operate as intended. This service provides a means for utilizing and interacting with the Vela platform.
