Pipeline Developer Guide¶

A Pipeline Developer builds reusable automation pipelines that the operator runs against machines. Pipelines define the sequence of operations — provisioning, configuration, validation, decommission — that DRP executes during a machine's lifecycle.

Pipeline work is packaged as content packs and delivered to an administrator, who deploys them to a DRP endpoint or publishes them to a manager catalog for distribution to the operator.

What the Pipeline Developer Builds¶

• Pipelines — Named sequences of stages that define an end-to-end machine workflow
• Pipeline Elements — Reusable segments that can be composed into pipelines
• Stages — Discrete checkpoints within a workflow that group related tasks
• Workflows — Higher-level orchestration that chains pipelines together
• Triggers — Event-driven automation that fires pipelines in response to state changes
• Blueprints — Templates that define complete machine configuration patterns
