Enable Pipeline Templates
Enable the pipeline templates feature in Spinnaker.
Using Pipeline Templates
Standardize and distribute reusable pipelines across your team or among multiple teams.
You can share these templates with your teams within a single application, across different applications, or even across different deployments of Spinnaker itself.
Templates can be managed using
spin
or the UI. To manage templates through the UI, enable the requisite feature flag: hal config features edit --managed-pipeline-templates-v2-ui true
Before you begin:
- Install the Spin CLI so you can manage pipelines and pipeline templates.
- Enable pipelines templates .
Structure of a pipeline template
The underlying structure of a pipeline template is very close to the pipeline JSON configuration format, viewable in the Deck UI. But it includes information about the variables the template uses.
