Exercise: Configure Pipeline in Prod
Estimated Time to Complete: 15 minutes
Overview
Pipelines ↗ establish the path an application takes from Development to Production.
This facilitates administrators' ability to efficiently transfer applications across different instances in the App Engine Management Center.
The process involves setting up and configuring your pipeline, specifying the Environments ↗ to include, and determining their position in the pipeline.
The Pipeline is exclusive to the Controller Environment, which in this case is the Production instance.
