General questions

How does ODS pipeline relate to OpenDevStack (Jenkins Shared Library)?

ODS pipeline makes use of an ODS core installation (Bitbucket, Nexus, SonarQube, Aqua). ODS provisioning app, ODS Jenkins Shared Library and ODS quickstarters are not required.

In essence, ODS pipeline is an alternative CI/CD approach to Jenkins, therefore "replacing" the ODS Jenkins Shared Library. For more details, see https://github.com/opendevstack/ods-pipeline/blob/master/docs/design/relationship-shared-library.adoc.
