Summary¶
We learned a lot in this lab! Let's recap some of what we learned:
Pipeline Primitives¶
| Primitive Type | Description | Block Identifier |
|---|---|---|
| Stage | Groups steps together into a single invoked method as to avoid duplication in the Pipeline Template. | stages{} |
| Application Environment | Encapsulates environment specific context, primarily for use in deployment steps. | application_environments{} |
| Keywords | Externalize the act of setting variables out of Pipeline Templates and into the Pipeline Configuration. | keywords{} |
Recall: Why shouldn't Library Steps take input parameters?¶
It fundamentally breaks the interchangeability of different implementations of the same step by different libraries by introducing a requirement that all implementations of that step accept the same parameters.
