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.

Exploring Tekton's building blocks

We are almost ready to get started with some hands-on examples of how to use Tekton, but before we do so, it is crucial to understand the basic building blocks that are used to build Tekton pipelines.

There are not many components that can be used to build pipelines in Tekton, but they can all be parameterized and tweaked to build powerful pipelines. In this section, we will explore all of them and see how they fit together.

Steps, tasks, and pipelines

The components you will be using the most when dealing with Tekton pipelines are steps, tasks, and pipelines. You can see the relationship between each of them in the following diagram:

Figure 2.2 – Steps, tasks, and pipelines (http://tekton.dev/concepts)

To get a better understanding of how they work together, let's look at them individually.

Steps

Steps are the most basic units that you can use to create your pipeline. They represent a single...
