Chapter 5

In this chapter, you learned about pipelines. The goal of the following exercises is to help you improve your pipeline authoring skills.

Back to the basics

For your first challenge, start by building a pipeline that will output a hello message. To do so, use the logger task that you created in this chapter. The pipeline will take a parameter to indicate who to say hello to, and this should default to World. Run this pipeline with different parameter values using the CLI. Then, run it with the default values. Do one last run with the parameter value specified in the CLI command directly. Here is a possible solution for the exercise:

apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1

spec:
  params: 
    - name: who
      default: "World"
      type: string
      description: Who should we say hello...
