Apsara Devops:Orchestrate a pipeline

Last Updated:Mar 31, 2021

Pipeline orchestration allows you to define automated processes for continuous delivery. You can orchestrate component capabilities such as building, deployment, testing, and control to enable automation of your business from development to release.

The pipeline feature in Flow provides the following orchestration capabilities:

  • Phase: A collection of tasks to be executed in a pipeline. A phase can be executed manually or automatically. Two phases are executed in sequence.

  • Task: The action to be completed during a phase. Two tasks can be executed in sequence or in parallel. Typical task types include code scanning, unit testing, building, deployment, code merging, and manual approval.

  • Step: the core underlying capability in Flow. A pipeline consists of a series of orchestrated steps.
