Using task results in pipelines

In the previous chapter, you've seen how to use results inside tasks to share information across steps. You can also use the same results to share limited information across tasks.

For the last example in this chapter, you will rewrite the dice-roll task to produce a result instead of echoing the result. This randomly generated number will then be picked up by the logger task to be displayed:

1. Start by creating a file named dice-results.yaml in which you will create the base of your new task named dice-roll-result:

   apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1 
   kind: Task 
   metadata: 
     name: dice-roll-result 
   spec: 

2. Just like you did in the previous version of the die-roll task, add a parameter with a default value of "6":

   params: 
      - name: sides 
        description: Number of sides to the dice 
        default: "6" 
        type: string...
