# [Concourse] CI

This directory holds the configuration, tasks and helpers for [concourse],
which we, VMware, use for continuous testing. This is **different** to what is
used by AWS when we merge our changes into the [upstream repo].

Cursious users can use this as long as they have a [concourse] with a
[credential manager] and other related infra (container registry, slack, ...)
available.

Otherwise, this can be ignored; nothing here is used at deployment- or runtime
by the [VMware Tanzu Application Platform on AWS Quick Start][qs].
