Tekton Step

Overview

A step is an operation in a CI/CD workflow. An example is Java compilation or execution of unit tests. Each step is performed within a container image provided when the step is defined. A step processes a set of inputs and produces a set of outputs. Steps do not exist in isolation, they are part of tasks, and they are executed as running containers with the task's pod. As such, a task's steps may share a volume, that allows them to exchange data. These containers are referred to as step containers.

Task Step Definition

A task manifest contains an array of step declarations. Each step has an optional name, and defines a container image that execute the step functionality on a specific input and produces a specific output. The order in which the step declarations appear in the array is the order in which the steps will execute.
