What are some options to provide global or project scoped pipeline configurations?

Question

I have a project which has many repositories within it. I want to use a singular OIDC credential provider for all of them in order to help with deployment automation toward cloud service providers. Currently, these configurations are being supplied within each repository rather than at some project or global space so that I can simply refer to them within each repository's pipeline configuration.

Thank you @Patrik S , let's see if I had a good enough idea or if there's already a solution on the way. Either way, I'd be happy to improve our build settings and/or structure so we don't have so many places to keep track of things like credentials and so on.

Hello @chris.kraus ,

Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Currently, the OIDC configuration has to be enabled individually at the repository level as each repository will get unique identifiers. I went ahead and raised a feature request to implement the OIDC configuration at the project/workspace level :

* https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-22485

We also have a feature request - already in progress -  to provide the ability to share the YML file across different repos, and have the option to define a "template" for the yml that could be used by multiple repos :

* https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/BCLOUD-14078

I would suggest you to add your vote on those feature requests, since this helps both developers and product managers to understand the interest. Also, make sure you add yourself as a watcher in case you want to receive first-hand updates from those tickets. Please note that all features are implemented with this policy in mind.

Thank you, @chris.kraus !
