Pipelines

A DRP (Digital Rebar Provision) Pipeline refers to an automated, standardized process crafted for infrastructure automation. It's essentially a specific type of Digital Rebar Profile, which connects to a Universal Application and has configurable parameters. While Universal Applications serve as general templates with default settings, Pipelines are tailor-made, allowing operators to customize or enhance those defaults as needed.

The following documents will give you more information on building, maintaining and using pipelines:

• Pipeline Architecture This document gives you a detailed introduction to pipelines and walks you through creating a simple pipeline.

• Universal Pipelines This document talks about universal pipelines and using the universal workflow system to provision linux machines.

• Automatic Machine Classification in Infrastructure Pipelines Provides an overview of how the universal-discover base classifier can automatically marshall configuration data via Profiles dynamically added to the Machine.

• Universal Hardware Architecture This document talks about the pipelines used for hardware management and customization.

• Universal Workflow Architecture This document outlines the parameters within the Universal Workflow Pipelines, enabling you to tailor your pipeline precisely to your requirements.

• Universal Workflow Operations This section delves into how to use the Universal Workflow system.
