In this lab, you will build Tekton pipeline.

Task 1 - Create a simple Tekton pipeline

1. Clone the code you need to test and change directory to wtecc-CICD_PracticeCode/labs/01_base_pipeline/

    git clone https://github.com/ibm-developer-skills-network/wtecc-CICD_PracticeCode.git
   

   Navigate to the labs/01_base_pipeline folder. All of your work will be completed with the files in this folder.

2. There is starter code in the labs/01_base_pipeline folder for a task and a pipeline. Navigate and open the tasks.yaml file to edit it:

    apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
    kind: Task
    metadata:
       name: <place-name-here>
    spec:
       steps:
   

   • The first thing you want to do is give the task a good name. Change <place-name-here> to hello-world.
   • The next thing is to add a step. The steps that run a single command need to include name, image, command, and args. Make the name echo, use the image alpine:3, have the command be [/bin/echo] and the args be ["Hello World"].

      spec:
        steps:
          - name: echo
            image: alpine:3
            command: [/bin/echo]
            args: ["Hello World!"]
     

   • Apply the task to the cluster using the following command: kubectl apply -f tasks.yaml
3. Create a hello-pipeline Pipeline ```yaml apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1 kind: Pipeline metadata: name: hello-pipeline spec: tasks:
   • name: hello taskRef: name: hello-world ```
   • Apply it to the cluster using the following command: kubectl apply -f pipeline.yaml
   • You are now ready to run your pipeline and see if it works.
4. Run the hello-pipeline
   • Run the pipeline using the Tekton CLI: tkn pipeline start --showlog hello-pipeline
   • You should see the output:

      PipelineRun started: hello-pipeline-run-9vkbb
      Waiting for logs to be available...
      [hello : echo] Hello World!
