Reusing tasks in the context of a pipeline

In the last chapter, you saw how to make tasks reusable by using parameters. You also saw how you can set the values for those parameters from a pipeline. Using those parameters, you can use a given task in multiple pipelines, and you can even use a given task inside a single pipeline. This is what you will do here:

  1. Start with a new file called log-task.yaml. Here, create a new task called logger:
    apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1 
    kind: Task 
    metadata: 
      name: logger 
    spec: 
  2. This task will need a parameter. You can give it the name text. This will be a parameter of the string type:
      params: 
       - name: text 
         type: string 
  3. For the steps object, you will have a single step that logs the date and time followed by the text to be logged:
      steps: 
       - name: log
