Provision resources during deployment

Create a single pipeline to provision or update resources during deployment. Here's how to set it up:

Pipeline Stages Overview​

  • IaCM Stage: This stage provisions or updates resources, setting the groundwork for your deployment.
  • CD Stage: This stage uses the resources provisioned in the IaCM stage to deploy your application.

Go to CD steps, stages, and strategies for information about CD stages.

Passing Variables Between Stages​

You can pass variables from an IaCM pipeline to a CD stage. For example, pass the Kubernetes namespace as a value.

After executing a pipeline, select the Apply step to view all OpenTofu/Terraform outputs as output expressions. Copy these for use in subsequent steps or stages, even across different pipelines.

Output

Example of Passing a Variable: To use the "bucket_name" as an input, copy the current value or the path to the variables. This ensures the value is fetched at runtime:

<+pipeline.stages.iacstage.spec.execution.steps.apply.output.outputVariables.bucket_name>
