Custom Templates

Custom Templates allow account administrators and template authors to define reusable blueprints that standardize how new resources are created across the account. Instead of starting from scratch, developers pick a template during resource creation and get a pre-configured repository and settings.

There are three types of custom templates:

Template Type	What it defines	Used when creating
App Component Templates	Technology stack, component configuration form, CI pipeline, templating rules, and CD defaults	Application Components
Library Templates	Technology stack, library configuration form, CI pipeline, and templating rules	Libraries
Service Templates	Schema of named variables (e.g. Host, Port, Username) that any instance of that service type will hold	Hosted Services and Connected Services

App Component Templates and Library Templates are versioned and Jinja-based — see the Templating page for details on how the template engine works.
