We are almost ready to get started with some hands-on examples of how to use Tekton, but before we do so, it is crucial to understand the basic building blocks that are used to build Tekton pipelines.

There are not many components that can be used to build pipelines in Tekton, but they can all be parameterized and tweaked to build powerful pipelines. In this section, we will explore all of them and see how they fit together.

Steps, tasks, and pipelines

The components you will be using the most when dealing with Tekton pipelines are steps, tasks, and pipelines. You can see the relationship between each of them in the following diagram:

To get a better understanding of how they work together, let's look at them individually.

Steps

Steps are the most basic units that you can use to create your pipeline. They represent a single...
