Plugins

Learn about plugin.

A plugin is a Docker container that is designed to perform a set of pre-defined actions.

These actions can be for any number of general tasks, deploying code, publishing artifacts and more.

Anyone can create a plugin and use it in their pipeline.

The registry of existing plugins can be found on this site in the plugins tab.

Within the parameters block, keys are injected as upper case environment variables with the pattern of PARAMETER_<YAML_KEY>.
