Overview of this book

For IT professionals working with Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, the key to maximizing efficiency is understanding the powerful and resilient options to maintain the software development platform with minimal effort. OpenShift Multi-Cluster Management Handbook is a deep dive into the technology, containing knowledge essential for anyone who wants to work with OpenShift. This book starts by covering the architectural concepts and definitions necessary for deploying OpenShift clusters. It then takes you through designing Red Hat OpenShift for hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructure, showing you different approaches for multiple environments (from on-premises to cloud providers). As you advance, you’ll learn container security strategies to protect pipelines, data, and infrastructure on each layer. You’ll also discover tips for critical decision making once you understand the importance of designing a comprehensive project considering all aspects of an architecture that will allow the solution to scale as your application requires. By the end of this OpenShift book, you’ll know how to design a comprehensive Red Hat OpenShift cluster architecture, deploy it, and effectively manage your enterprise-grade clusters and other critical components using tools in OpenShift Plus.

Summary

In this chapter, we dived into Tekton, from installing it on OpenShift to using it. You learned how to create custom tasks, reuse existing ones, build a pipeline, and then run it. You also learned how to set a trigger to run the pipeline when a push event occurs in your GitHub repository. The objects you have seen in this chapter are the main ones you will use to create most Tekton pipelines.

In the next chapter, we will bring more power to your CI/CD process by adding Argo CD and GitOps to your pipelines. We will also start looking at ways to deploy applications into multiple clusters at once. Let’s get started and take a deeper dive into OpenShift GitOps!
