Cloud-native CI/CD in Kubernetes with Tekton

In this ½ day workshop, students will learn about how to use Tekton to construct cloud-ready CI/CD pipelines running in Kubernetes. Students will use Tekton Pipelines and Tekton Triggers to define and implement a simple CI/CD pipeline that will automatically update a Kubernetes deployment.

Tekton is a newer entry in the CI/CD tooling space that allows you to implement CI/CD pipelines through custom Kubernetes objects. Because of that, you can utilize the same Kubernetes knowledge you already have without learning another application and take advantage of your existing Kubernetes infrastructure and features such as scaling that are built in. Join author and trainer and DevOps Director Brent Laster to learn how to easily and quickly get up to speed with Tekton and the supporting pieces around it including its dashboard and CLI.

This workshop will include hands-on labs so you can get immediate experience with Tekton.

(Note: A solid understanding of Kubernetes is needed as a prerequisites for this workshop.)

Please see important requirements to prepare for labs!
