Create an Edge Delta Pack

Create a Pack.

Overview

A pack is an aggregation of pipeline nodes that you can add to a pipeline as a single object. This is useful if you have a common node pattern that needs to be inserted into many pipelines. For example, suppose many of your pipelines require a specific field to be masked and a particular enrichment applied. You can create a pack containing the required Mask and Enrichment node configurations, and add that pack in all the pipelines that require that logic. This reduces the visual complexity of busy pipelines and it reduces configuration overhead.

Use the following steps to create a new pack and add it to your My Packs table. You can also add an out of the box pack from the packs marketplace.

Create a Pack

Suppose an existing pipeline contains a configuration that you would like to apply to other pipelines as a pack.

  1. Click Edit Mode
  2. Select the nodes using one of these methods:
  • hover over each node and check the selection checkbox,
  • hold Command select each node, or
  1. Select Create Pack.

The nodes are grouped in a single pack and the new pack is added to your organization’s My Packs table.

  1. Click Review Changes.
  2. Click Save and Deploy.

Export or Import

In the My Packs table, you can export a pack as a YAML file, and import existing pack configurations:

  • To export a pack, click the kebab (⋮) icon in the Actions column for the pack and select Export as YAML.
  • To import a pack, click Import and select the YAML file to add to your organization’s pack table.

Next Steps

Now you can add your pack to one or more pipelines.
