Chapter 7

In this chapter, you learned how to share large quantities of data across tasks in a pipeline. This will be useful when you start dealing with Git repositories. The following exercises will give you some practice with the concept of workspaces.

Write and read

Create a task that uses a workspace to share information across its two steps. The first step will write a message, specified in a parameter, to a file in the workspace. The second step will output the content of the file in the logs. Try running the task using the -w parameter in the tkn CLI tool.

Here is a possible solution for the exercise:

apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: Task
metadata:
  name: write-read-workspace
spec:
  workspaces:
    - name: data
  params:
    - name: message
      default: "Hello World"
      type: string
     ...
