Companies worldwide use Kubernetes to automate the deployment, management, and scaling of container-based applications. With companies continuing to adopt containerization, Kubernetes skills are highly in demand.

In this hands-on guided project, you will learn how to build and deploy a Docker image to a local Kubernetes cluster within an IBM cloud-based environment.

You’ll also learn how to use the openshift-client ClusterTask from the Tekton catalog, as well as how to modify your pipeline to reference the task as a ClusterTask. Then, you’ll gain valuable skills, such as how to pass additional parameters and how to run the pipeline to deploy an image to OpenShift.

Completing this project can set you up to effectively work with Kubernetes as you perform more complex operations with pipelines and containers.

A Look at the Project Ahead

After completing this project, you'll be able to:

Determine if the openshift-client ClusterTask is available on your cluster
