Building CI CD Systems Using Tekton (1 ed)

Building CI/CD Systems Using Tekton: Develop flexible and powerful CI/CD pipelines using Tekton Pipelines and Triggers 1st Edition

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.

What you will learn

• Understand the basic principles behind CI/CD
• Explore what tasks are and how they can be made reusable and flexible
• Focus on how to use Tekton objects to compose a robust pipeline
• Share data across a pipeline using volumes and workspaces
• Discover more advanced topics, such as WhenExpressions and Secrets, to build complex pipelines
• Understand what Tekton Triggers are and how they can be used to automate CI/CD pipelines
• Build a full CI/CD pipeline that automatically deploys an application to a Kubernetes cluster when an update is made to a code repository
