Build Pipelines

Under Application menu in the ZCP console, you can use the Build Pipelines feature to automate the process of building your application artifacts and container images directly from your source code. This feature is a crucial component of the CI/CD capabilities offered by the platform.

Before configuring build pipelines of an application, you need to register and manage that application. If the application already exists, select it from the Application list or follow the Register New Application guideline on how to create a new application in ZCP.

Configure Build Pipelines​

Each application can have multiple build pipelines, allowing for different build configurations (e.g., for different branches or build tools). After registering an application, select the application from Application Listing page and navigate to Build Pipeline tab to start configuring build pipelines:
