## Summary | ||
|
||
A Custom Task SDK will make the work of custom task author easier and will offer | ||
standard way to implement custom task controllers. While adhering to current | ||
separation of concern between a custom task controller's role and tektoncd owned | ||
controller's role, it should make custom tasks easier to manage and reason by | ||
tektoncd. | ||
|
||
## Motivation | ||
|
||
1. Currently, a custom task author has limited ways to know what is a standard way | ||
of developing the custom task. Their best bet is to explore one of the existing | ||
implementation in `experimental/` repo. | ||
2. However, an experimental custom task may not be up to date with the latest `tektoncd` | ||
code base version. There is no one goto place, where a Task author can find upto | ||
date example. | ||
3. Presently, `tektoncd` does not manage the life cycle of a custom task at all. | ||
A SDK can open up newer possibilities in this regard. | ||
4. SDK available as a project template, can perform some of common tasks, | ||
generate boiler-plate code and provide helper functions/scripts. | ||
|
||
### Goals | ||
|
||
1. Provide a Github template with a simple controller and CRD implementation, | ||
which a user can fork and develop his own custom task controller. | ||
2. Provide helper functions/packages for common tasks and documentation | ||
with best practices. | ||
|
||
### Non-Goals | ||
|
||
- providing SDKs in languages other than Go | ||
- providing a generic CRD controller lib | ||
|
||
### Use Cases (optional) | ||
|
||
<!-- | ||
Describe the concrete improvement specific groups of users will see if the | ||
Motivations in this doc result in a fix or feature. | ||
Consider both the user's role (are they a Task author? Catalog Task user? | ||
Cluster Admin? etc...) and experience (what workflows or actions are enhanced | ||
if this problem is solved?). | ||
--> | ||
|
||
## Requirements | ||
|
||
<!-- | ||
Describe constraints on the solution that must be met. Examples might include | ||
performance characteristics that must be met, specific edge cases that must | ||
be handled, or user scenarios that will be affected and must be accomodated. | ||
--> | ||
|
||
## Proposal | ||
|
||
<!-- | ||
This is where we get down to the specifics of what the proposal actually is. | ||
This should have enough detail that reviewers can understand exactly what | ||
you're proposing, but should not include things like API designs or | ||
implementation. The "Design Details" section below is for the real | ||
nitty-gritty. | ||
--> | ||
|
||
### Notes/Caveats (optional) | ||
|
||
<!-- | ||
What are the caveats to the proposal? | ||
What are some important details that didn't come across above. | ||
Go in to as much detail as necessary here. | ||
This might be a good place to talk about core concepts and how they relate. | ||
--> | ||
|
||
### Risks and Mitigations | ||
|
||
<!-- | ||
What are the risks of this proposal and how do we mitigate. Think broadly. | ||
For example, consider both security and how this will impact the larger | ||
kubernetes ecosystem. | ||
How will security be reviewed and by whom? | ||
How will UX be reviewed and by whom? | ||
Consider including folks that also work outside the WGs or subproject. | ||
--> | ||
|
||
### User Experience (optional) | ||
|
||
<!-- | ||
Consideration about the user experience. Depending on the area of change, | ||
users may be task and pipeline editors, they may trigger task and pipeline | ||
runs or they may be responsible for monitoring the execution of runs, | ||
via CLI, dashboard or a monitoring system. | ||
Consider including folks that also work on CLI and dashboard. | ||
--> | ||
|
||
### Performance (optional) | ||
|
||
<!-- | ||
Consideration about performance. | ||
What impact does this change have on the start-up time and execution time | ||
of task and pipeline runs? What impact does it have on the resource footprint | ||
of Tekton controllers as well as task and pipeline runs? | ||
Consider which use cases are impacted by this change and what are their | ||
performance requirements. | ||
--> | ||
|
||
## Design Details | ||
|
||
<!-- | ||
This section should contain enough information that the specifics of your | ||
change are understandable. This may include API specs (though not always | ||
required) or even code snippets. If there's any ambiguity about HOW your | ||
proposal will be implemented, this is the place to discuss them. | ||
If it's helpful to include workflow diagrams or any other related images, | ||
add them under "/teps/images/". It's upto the TEP author to choose the name | ||
of the file, but general guidance is to include at least TEP number in the | ||
file name, for example, "/teps/images/NNNN-workflow.jpg". | ||
--> | ||
|
||
## Test Plan | ||
|
||
<!-- | ||
**Note:** *Not required until targeted at a release.* | ||
Consider the following in developing a test plan for this enhancement: | ||
- Will there be e2e and integration tests, in addition to unit tests? | ||
- How will it be tested in isolation vs with other components? | ||
No need to outline all of the test cases, just the general strategy. Anything | ||
that would count as tricky in the implementation and anything particularly | ||
challenging to test should be called out. | ||
All code is expected to have adequate tests (eventually with coverage | ||
expectations). | ||
--> | ||
|
||
## Design Evaluation | ||
<!-- | ||
How does this proposal affect the reusability, simplicity, flexibility | ||
and conformance of Tekton, as described in [design principles](https://github.com/tektoncd/community/blob/master/design-principles.md) | ||
--> | ||
|
||
## Drawbacks | ||
|
||
<!-- | ||
Why should this TEP _not_ be implemented? | ||
--> | ||
|
||
## Alternatives | ||
|
||
<!-- | ||
What other approaches did you consider and why did you rule them out? These do | ||
not need to be as detailed as the proposal, but should include enough | ||
information to express the idea and why it was not acceptable. | ||
--> | ||
|
||
## Infrastructure Needed (optional) | ||
|
||
<!-- | ||
Use this section if you need things from the project/SIG. Examples include a | ||
new subproject, repos requested, github details. Listing these here allows a | ||
SIG to get the process for these resources started right away. | ||
--> | ||
|
||
## Upgrade & Migration Strategy (optional) | ||
|
||
<!-- | ||
Use this section to detail wether this feature needs an upgrade or | ||
migration strategy. This is especially useful when we modify a | ||
behavior or add a feature that may replace and deprecate a current one. | ||
--> | ||
|
||
## Implementation Pull request(s) | ||
|
||
<!-- | ||
Once the TEP is ready to be marked as implemented, list down all the Github | ||
Pull-request(s) merged. | ||
Note: This section is exclusively for merged pull requests, for this TEP. | ||
It will be a quick reference for those looking for implementation of this TEP. | ||
--> | ||
