Chapter 4

This chapter was all about tasks, and so are these exercises. The goal of these exercises is to let you become familiar with the basic concepts around steps and tasks.

More than Hello World

In this first challenge, build a task with three steps. The first step should output a log message stating that the task has started. Then, the task will sleep for the number of seconds that the user specifies. In the third step, the task should log a string that the user provides. Be sure to add default values to those two parameters. Now, try running the task with the tkn command-line interface (CLI) tool. Run it a second time using the default values this time. Start this task a third time, specifying the parameter values directly in the command line.

Here is a possible solution for the exercise:

apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: Task
metadata:
  name: more-than-hello
spec:
  params:
    - name: log
