 ## Test Kubeflow Pipelines with Tekton
 
 Please [refer to the instructions here](./python/tests/README.md) as you work on a PR test sample Kubeflow Pipelines in their test data folder to ensure your PR is improving the number of successful samples
+
+## Compile Kubeflow Pipelines as Tekton pipelineRun
+
+By default, Tekton pipelineRun is generated by the `tkn` CLI so that users can interactively change their pipeline parameters during each execution. However, `tkn` CLI is lagging several important features when generating pipelineRun. Therefore, we added support for generating pipelineRun using `dsl-compile-tekton` with all the latest kfp-tekton compiler features. The comparison between Tekton pipeline and Argo workflow is described in our [design docs](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oXOdiItI4GbEe_qzyBmMAqfLBjfYX1nM94WHY3EPa94/edit#heading=h.f38y0bqkxo87).
+
+Compiling Kubeflow Pipelines into Tekton pipelineRun is currently under the experimental stage. [Here](https://github.com/tektoncd/pipeline/blob/master/docs/pipelineruns.md) is the list of supported features in pipelineRun.
+
+As of today, the below pipelineRun features are available within `dsl-compile-tekton`:
+- Affinity
+- Node Selector
+- Tolerations
+
+To compile Kubeflow Pipelines as Tekton pipelineRun, simply add the `--generate-pipelinerun` as part of your `dsl-compile-tekton`commands. e.g.
+- `dsl-compile-tekton --py sdk/python/tests/compiler/testdata/tolerations.py --output pipeline.yaml --generate-pipelinerun`
+
+## Troubleshooting
+- Please be aware that defined Affinity, Node Selector, and Tolerations are applied to all the tasks in the same pipeline because there's only one podTemplate allowed in each pipeline.
