Abstract: A pipeline management system that allows for creating and managing pipelines and pipeline execution. The system allows a user to create pipeline stages, steps for the pipeline stages, and commands for the pipeline steps. The system efficiently allows users to create and manage multiple pipelines by allowing attributes of commands, such as for example variables in the commands, to be entered at runtime. The runtime entry attributes for a pipeline make up an input set. A pipeline can be bound with one or more input sets that are used to fill or instantiate the pipeline variables at runtime.
