Description:

We would like a feature that allows the injection of a stage or step into all pipelines within an account, ensuring it is executed automatically as a pre, post, or during pipeline execution.

Use Case:

Recently, an issue with certificates required us to add a cert-management stage manually to each pipeline. This approach is cumbersome and error-prone, particularly for organizations with a large number of pipelines. The ability to define and enforce an account-level stage/step would alleviate this overhead by ensuring consistent execution across all pipelines.

Additional Benefits:

Policy Enforcement: Enforce compliance policies or validations (e.g., security checks, metrics gathering) consistently across pipelines.

Centralized Control: Simplify maintenance and management of shared or mandatory logic.

Expected Behavior:

Administrators should be able to configure a stage/step at the account level.

The configured stage/step should automatically execute in all pipelines as a mandatory part of the pipeline flow.

The feature should allow flexibility to specify whether the stage/step runs as a pre-execution step, mid-pipeline step, or post-execution step.

Importance:

This feature will streamline operations, improve compliance, and reduce the effort required to ensure consistency across pipelines.

Request for Tracking:

We understand this might be categorized as a feature request. However, we request that this be tracked with visibility into updates or potential timelines.

Thank you for considering this enhancement to improve the platform’s flexibility and usability.
