Alibaba Cloud DevOps:Pipeline template management

Last Updated:Aug 21, 2026

Pipeline templates let you quickly set up automated build, test, and deployment processes while reducing repetitive configuration and ensuring consistency across projects and environments.

  • When creating a pipeline, organization members can select a preset template to get started quickly.

  • Flow also supports organization templates, which let you define custom pipeline templates for your organization so that members can reuse them.

In the Select Pipeline Template dialog box, the Creation Method offers two modes: visual orchestration and YAML orchestration. On the left, you can filter templates by language or technology, such as Java, Node.js, and .NET Core. The right side shows organization custom template and preset template sections. To create an organization template, click New Organization Template.

Organization pipeline templates

Create an organization template

You can create an organization pipeline template by using one of the following methods:

  • Method 1: When creating a pipeline, select a pipeline template and then create an organization template from it.

    In the Select Pipeline Template dialog box, find the organization custom template section and click New Organization Template.

  • Method 2: On the Flow console homepage, go to , and then click New Organization Template.

  • Method 3: Save an existing pipeline as an organization template. On the pipeline details page, click the more options icon (⋮) in the upper-right corner and select Save as Pipeline Template.

Configure an organization template

After you create an organization template, configure and save it. A pipeline template includes five stages: source, code scan, build, deployment, and New Stage. In the deployment stage's host deployment task, select the Download artifact during deployment checkbox. Set artifact to Artifacts_${PIPELINE_ID}, host group to New Host Group, Download Path to /home/admin/app/package.tgz, and Execution User to root. In the deployment script, use the tar zxvf /home/admin/app/package.tgz -C /home command to extract the artifact.

Manage pipeline templates

To manage preset and organization custom templates, go to on the Flow homepage. After a template is disabled, organization members can no longer use it to create pipelines.

To disable a template, click ... next to it in the template list and then click Disable.
