Overview
Tekton is an open-source framework built upon the Kubernetes platform for the development of optimized software. Its core components are the Tekton Pipelines, which are employable for creating continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) systems. Tekton Pipelines also allow advanced application deployment patterns across hybrid environments or multiple cloud providers while utilizing cloud-native CI/CD tools efficiently.
This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at developers and DevOps engineers who wish to leverage Tekton Pipelines for supporting complex software development workflows and building automated CI/CD pipelines.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Install and configure Tekton Pipelines and other foundational Tekton components.
- Design and create the building blocks of pipelines for software development in Tekton.
- Automate existing pipelines and development processes using Tekton framework concepts and principles.
- Run and manage Tekton Pipelines for various workload types across multiple platforms.
- Implement CI/CD systems based on the Tekton framework to enhance future software development projects.
Format of the Course
- Interactive lecture and discussion.
- Lots of exercises and practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
