Cloud Native Toolkit Workshop released. The workshop in a box environment is easy and quick to setup with hands on labs including videos. Check them out at cloudnativetoolkit.dev/workshop. More hands on labs for the workshop coming soon.

CLI

v1.11.1, v1.11.0, v1.10.2, v1.10.1, v1.10.0, v1.9.0, v1.8.1, v1.8.0, v1.7.1, v1.7.0, v1.6.0, v1.5.0

Many usability changes, particularly for the pipeline command:

Reduces required permissions

  • At the start of every command that needs access to the kube api, the cli checks that a connection is available. Previously it did that by trying to list all the pods in the cluster (e.g. the equivalent of kubectl get pods -A). Unfortunately, that command needs a great deal of access to succeed. The check was changed to run a command that requires much less permission.
  • Before creating the webhook triggers, the pipeline command would read the Tekton version number from annotations on the operator deployment in the openshift-operators namespace. This check required a great deal of permissions to be able to read the deployment in that namespace. Instead, the pipeline command has been changed to resort to a brute force check - it assumes v0.6.0 and if it fails tries again with v0.4.0.

Usability updates for pipeline command

  • Allows the repo url to be passed in so it is not necessary to clone the repository first
  • Creates a single event listener per namespace/project instead of a new event listener for each repo
  • Detects the runtime of the repository and filters the tekton pipelines based on the runtime
  • Reads params from tekton pipeline and prompts for values
  • The input arguments have been cleaned up to remove conflicts and to use values that make more sense for the input parameters.
