Overview of this book

Tekton is a powerful yet flexible Kubernetes-native open source framework for creating continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) systems. It enables you to build, test, and deploy across multiple cloud providers or on-premise systems. Building CI/CD Systems Using Tekton covers everything you need to know to start building your pipeline and automating application delivery in a cloud-native environment. Using a hands-on approach, you will learn about the basic building blocks, such as tasks, pipelines, and workspaces, which you can use to compose your CI/CD pipelines. As you progress, you will understand how to use these Tekton objects in conjunction with Tekton Triggers to automate the delivery of your application in a Kubernetes cluster. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to compose Tekton Pipelines and use them with Tekton Triggers to build powerful CI/CD systems.

Configuring your cluster

In order for external services, such as GitHub, to connect to your triggers, you will need to expose a service to the outside world. This process varies a lot depending on the type of cluster that you are using. Should you be using minikube, the process will be relatively simple. For cloud-based solutions, the setup might vary from one cloud provider to another, and you might need to read up the documentation from your specific supplier.

Using a local cluster

If you are using a local version on your computer, such as minikube, you will need additional software to help you expose your event listeners.

Right now, there is no way for GitHub to find your personal computer when it triggers a webhook. To do so, you will need a tool called ngrok to create a tunnel between your laptop and the outside world.

To install ngrok, go to https://ngrok.com/download. From there, follow the instructions on the page to install it on your computer, as shown in the...
