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.

Building your first task

In this section, you will create your first Hello World task. While this task might not be instrumental in your day-to-day life, it will demonstrate the basic concepts to build your first Tekton task:

  1. First, start with a new YAML file called hello.yaml. In that file, start by specifying the API version to use and the kind of object described:
    apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
    kind: Task
  2. Next, add in some metadata. For this first example, we will stick with the bare minimum and only add a task name:
    metadata: 
      name: hello 
  3. Now that you've described the task and named it, you can add a spec for it. Here, it will contain a single step:
    spec: 
      steps: 

    For this single step, you will use the Universal Base Images UBI image to run a Bash script.
