Tekton is an open-source framework built upon the Kubernetes platform for the modern days software development process. Its core components are the Tekton Pipelines, which are employable for creating continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) systems. Tekton also allow advanced application deployment patterns across hybrid environments or multiple cloud providers while utilizing cloud-native CI/CD tools efficiently.

UpSkeel’s instructor-led, live and interactive Tekton training online or offline is aimed at developers and DevOps engineers or for any IT porfessionals who wants to leann Tekton Pipelines for deploying there complex software development workflows and building automated CI/CD pipelines.

Prerequisite to learn Tekton

• Linux commands
• Fundamental of Kubernetes
• Basic understanding of automation tools
